There was a time when it was normal to sell 80m+ total hardware units in 1 year? O_o

Yeah when consoles were cheap. PS2,DS, Wii, PSP were all pretty cheap. PS3 and 360 never got cheap, and we saw 0 legs from them, and as a result we get record launches for PS4 and XB1.

Hopefully PS4 can reach 149$... via shrinks/cost saveing maneuvers.
