Imagine trying to shade the hardware numbers. In November Sony will have two consoles selling at the same time. Only PS2 managed to be relevant when PS3 launched. 7 years PS4 in the market and is doing great.

You might want to step out of that bubble.  The NES, which launched as the Famicom in 1982, wasn't discontinued in Japan until 2003.  That means it continued generating sales after the release of its successor (SNES), the release of its successors' successor (N64), and its successors' successors' successor (Gamecube).  (*say that 3x fast)  Even outside of Japan, it continued to generate impressive sales after the SNES released.
