You're going to have to compare it to a normal gen, like PS2+Xbox+GC. The Wii brought in a lot of casuals who didn't normally game. Ones who have mostly left for mobile gaming, bloating last gen's numbers. For the comparison I'm talking about, PS4 is going to be a little below PS2, while XBO is already 10M+ ahead of Xbox and will probably finish 20M+ ahead of it. The Wii U sold poorly, but that's still only a 8M deficit against the GC that XBO has already made up for. 

A sale is a sale as far as I'm concerned.

True. But, you still can't count that bloat from casuals as a true long lasting growth in the industry, one thats used to show the industry is shrinking, now. Home consoles should go on to sell the same, maybe a little bit more, when compared to Gen 6. The core market seems to be holding strong, while there are fewer casuals.
