Not saying you're wrong but the impression I got was that the PS2, PS3 and PS4 trends were similar considering the staggered launches of PS2 and PS3. PS1 was a slow starter. 

This is without studying any numbers so any input would be appreciated. We need shadow with one of his charts. 

PS1 peaked year 3 or 4

PS2 peaked year 2

PS3 peaked year 5

PS4 peak so far is year 4 (could be year 5)

 

PS1 and PS2 had great legs after their successors launched while PS3 only lasted a couple years after its successor launched.

 

There really isnt any set trend for any of the console manufacturers.

Thanks for the information but peaks aren't really a great indicator for disproving trends unless the peak years are a lot higher than the years around it. For instance PS2 could be 5M, 22M, 21M, 21M, 20M while PS3 could be 3M, 12M, 13M, 13M,  14M. Both are similar trends but with different peak years.
