Actually, if you take Nintendo out of the equation the console market is doing just fine. Combined PS4 & XBO sales in the U.S. are 46% higher than launch-aligned PS3 & 360 sales in the same time span, and are only about 2% lower than what combined launch-aligned PS2 & Xbox sales were at this point in their lives. The Wii U is the sole reason why the current generation looks bad compared to prior generations.

Yet the claim from that quote tree is that Nintendo is the surviving self sustainable one in the future...

They are. Not just through recent history, but look at their entire history. They have been around for 130 years. A company isn't around that long without being good at business.

Also I doubt that we're going to see 160m units from Xbox and PlayStation.
