If we remove the temporary Wii craze which brought in an influx of casuals that have since left ...

NES - 62 million
SNES - 49 million
N64 -33 million
GameCube - 22 million
Wii U - 14 million

This is actually a fairly consistent and frightening drop. There's only so many Nintendo faithful left.

Denial overflow.

Ok then, if we exclude the casual craze of ps2, ps consoles are declining since the first ps.

This isn't a fixed fanbase that grew smaller. People are always flowing from one system to the other, with not every snes/N64/GC buyer getting a previous gen nintendo system. Last gen wii was the absolute winner for gamers and no ammount of denial will change that.

Sony is fairly consistent though

PS1 - 105 mill

PS2 - 150 mill

PS3 - 90 mill (est finish)

PS4 - 100+ mill (on pace)

Honestly the only real big difference with the PS2 is that Sony sold for such a long time in developing countries.

If Sony was

PS1 - 105 mill

PS2 - 75 mill

PS3 - 45 mill

PS4 - 20 mill

There would be a fair amount of discussion about it.
