The hardware, is according to VGC like this:
DS: 3.8M
Wii: 1.2M
Ps3: 0.6M
PsP: 1.2M
X360: 0.5M
Total: 7.3M
Compared to last generation:
Ps2: 5.6M
Gamecube: 1.0M
Xbox: 0.8M
GBA: 3.1M
Total: 10.5M
So overall, the market has grown a lot bigger according to VGC too.
But that's mainly because of handhelds.
The total sales last gen was 8.4M for consoles.
Now, perhaps 1/4 through the generation, the total sales are 2.3M. This means that the total sales aren't likely to see more than a tops 15% increase in the console market.
The handheld market has grown insanely though, and will probably see a 100% increase, if not more.
