It isn't the market, but the "hardcore gaming is dead", "console gaming is dead", etc premisse besides being ludicrous is easy to dismiss when we see PS4 breaking records.

For sure but the OP said nothing about anything being dead.

Yep, he haven't gone to the hyperbole.

But ignoring that hardcore console market isn't Wii. So the comparison would be PS2+GC+Xbox < X360+PS3 (+Nintendo fans on Wii) < PS4+X1+WiiU not what he have done, that simply show what we have been saying in VGC for like 4 years. Gen 7 got a lot of new entrants due to Wii that wouldn't buy WiiU or any other console because they weren't hardcore console players from the begining.

If he had said that dedicated gaming machines (console and HH) have shrink (or returned to previous gen level), or that console gaming HW sold less I would agree (and give the same reasoning as I gave). But when he puts Hardcore he changes the focus.
