Even slightly would not get you close to even past gens 

XBox 360 + PS3 = 172 million (not even including Wii here)

PS2 + GameCube + XBox = 202 million approx.

PS1 + N64 + Saturn = 142.26 million

PS4 + XBox One = 175 mill approx (won't include Wii U even)

They might beat the PS1 + N64 generation, but that's about it and that was like 25 years ago now. This is not great growth. 

obviously PC gaming is becoming much bigger and switch is also competition  its a home console as well.

I think kids are not playing on these higher end devices and not compelled to buy these consoles. I think smartphones are also eating up more of younger gamers gaming diets, more than people here want to admit. I can't do it, but I see kids even playing FPS CoD games on touchscreen smartphones ringing up head shots like it's nothing to them. It's a very different generation coming on up, they don't consume or look at games in the same way. They don't really care as much about graphics either, that's part of the problem, it's mainly old farts raised in the 80s/90s/2000s who are concerned with that but that's a demographic that's not getting younger.
