When you consider the market difference between 1985 and 2013, it's not really that impressive. It's like comparing revenue for movies and not adjusting for inflation. The NES selling 60 million units in the climate it launched in is like the PS4 selling 300 million units.

Incorrect - market size is not like inflation at all. A market can shrink but inflation is always on the way up (it's not called deflation after all).

If there are 100 people interested in lemonade and you sell 5,000 cups of the stuff, that's much more impressive than selling 5,000 cups to a crowd of 5,000,000. 

The market is so large right now that you can't compare.
