8th generation sales will be closer to 5th generation than 6th generation. 

When I made this in mid 2014 I was actually thinking that 8th generation might do worse than 5th generation however I thought to myself that something will happen to blow up that prediction. Anyway I should be right as the current sales of 105 million total console sales is a long ways from 170 million.

Unless something dumb happens and my prediction blows up again. 

Doesnt Switch also belong to the 8th generation of consoles on the market? (a generation as a whole, multiple vendors box's = a gen)

Its not more advanced in technologies, its not faster than the others on the market, and its directly competeing against PS4/XB1 and will be for most of its life.

 

If you count PS4+XB1+WiiU+Switch, its bound to be as big as 5th gen right?

Abit optimistic but could see 8th gen ending with like:

PS4 ~130m

XB1 ~60m

Switch ~80m  (& WiiU ~14m)
