Why are all the graphs showing home consoles + handhelds? Handhelds are dead so, of course, there will be a decline in total hardware. I want to see graphs without the handhelds.

I dont have graphs but here are rough estimations based on Vgchartz and/or Wikipedia numbers

Gen 2 ~35 million

Gen 3 ~80 million

Gen 4 ~95 million

Gen 5 ~150 million

Gen 6 ~210 million

Gen 7 ~275 million

Gen 8 ~100 million (and growing, will probably end between Gen 6 & 7)

I think you mean Gen 8 will end up between Gen 5 & 6. 100M for the PS4, 40M for the X1 and 14M for the WiiU.
