Really? The console market has strunk a lot, even compared to the 6th ten. During the 6th gen, we saw around 200 million console sales. This generation will probably barely scrape past what the PS2 did. Both Nintendo and Sony's consoles will do worse than their 6th geh counterparts, and the Xbox one will probably barely pull in half of what the 360 did. While the 7th gen was overinflated, the loss is still dramatic. It's like pulling out one of the three console manufacturers from the business altogether. And I expect the 9th gen to be even worse, with an almost total collapse from the handheld market, and likely some additional losses from all three console makers. The mobile market is taking over the casual side of the market, and many core gamers are either moving to the pc or pulling out altogether; and the bad business practices of game publishers like Ubisoft and Activision isn't helping. I hope for the best, but I just can't expect an improvement in the market.
Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
