Who knows?

As long it's gonna be equal or bigger when compared to the 6th generation, i don't care. Who needs casuals?

We need the gaming companies making hardware/software that caters to hardcore gamers like us.

I think you are right. I have to admit defeat. If Xbox One can't get the casuals over to Kinect, then we will see a decrease but if Kinect inspires something that we have not seen yet, then maybe both HD twins will sell over 110 million a piece. Leaving Wii U to make up 35 million units or less if HD twins can put some good number between the 2.

Also depends how long this gen is.
I can see Xbox Pushing Directv or someone, to give a xbox one with sign up. This would be big.

No it wouldn't. People who just want Directv won't want to pay extra for a game console. Directv deals wouldn't grow the console market by anything substantial, all it would do is transfer some of the  "might buy PS4" market to "probably buy Xb one". So it would close the gap, but overall console sales will still be closer to Gen 6 than Gen 7.

Well even if the PS4 pops 150 million the Xbox One does 80 million and the Wii U does 30 million (really optimistic predictions) that's still only a total of 260 million units, which is still less than what we currently have.

The problem too is I can't really see the Wii U managing 30 (more around 20 millionish) and the Xbox One 80, I have no way of knowing but I can't see it happening. So for now realistically speaking it's safe to assume there will be a decline.

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. People are missing the point of this thread, recently. It's not about one specific console (PS4.), it's about the generation as a whole. In my OP I post my highest predictions for each just to prove how an increase isn't plausible.

Again, thank you.

Indeed, and you are being too generous with PS4 and Xb one in your OP IMO.
