Wait what...... you didnt like the PS2? that gen was kinda epic.

 

Sales wont be "heavily" down from last generation.

I consider the Switch, the same gen as the PS4 & XB1. Since its gonna spend the next 3 years competing against them.

Its too early to tell, maybe the switch is another Wii in terms of sales?

Not only the sales will be heavily down at the end of the gen, they also are at the moment. The seventh gen was roughly 500M units on hardware sales, while home consoles alone accounted for something between 250 and 300M. Of course, the software sales were especially high because of this (actually, it's the other way around).

Why do you consider Switch the same gen with PS4 and XB1 and not PS4P and XB1S as the same gen as Switch? I mean it's clearly a generational change with everyone releasing new hardware. Even if so, if Switch starts flying off of the shelves, we're going to see PS5 and XB2 in 2018 anyway.

The sixth gen was so epic that I decided to quit gaming halfway though the gen, but then came the seventh that changed my mind (now the gen8 was a similar disaster with six, and I'm cautiously waiting for the ninth if it would follow the seventh).

break down that 500 mill for me.
