Its on track to sell about 2/3 the previous gen which would also put it below 6th gen. What is stopping this decline from continuing? From gen 1 to Gen 7 the console market had consistently grown each time, now were looking at a 90 million decrease yet I don't see you saying the market is dying.

Simple, the console decline is nowhere near as severe as the portable decline.

Nah, or just using double standards now, selling 1/3 the previous generation is "doomed" while selling 2/3 the previous generation is nothing to be worried about.

6th generation, handhelds-80 million, consoles-200 million

7th generation, handhelds-235 million, consoles-280 million

8th generation, handhelds-80 million, consoles-180-200 million

The handheld & console markets have both reverted back to roughly 6th gen levels yet one is dead and the other is fine.
