I flew too close to the 1TF sun and my Switch wings melted.

Your original point was nonsense. You argued that Nintendo was once a huge empire and now hardly anything is left of it, but neither zorg's (80m vs. 75m) or your count (90m vs. 75m) support that argument. The decline of PlayStation is in the same ballpark, if not bigger, because at the time the PS2, PSP and PS3 were on the market, Sony used to comfortably ship more than 20m hardware units per year.

PS2 & PS3+PSP each sold about 160 million give or take a few million.

PS4+Vita is probably around 70 million right now.

Vita might manage an extra million or two but will PS4 sell an additional 90 million in order to keep the 160 million baseline? I dont think it will, maybe 130 million combined.

Edit: I also highly doubt Xbox One is coming anywhere close to the 85 million that Xbox 360 did, probably somewhere right between Xbox & 360 or 50 million.

So it appears like the Nintendo, Playstation & Xbox ecosystems are all going to be down.

Yeah, you make a good point. When the last PS4 comes off the line it will almost definitely be at the very worst the third highest selling console of all time, behind only the PS2 and PS1. That really should make them feel incredibly disappointed in their sales. Their glory days are long gone. Perhaps they should should make Crash Bandicoot games for the iPhone for $10 a pop instead.
