PS4 has actually the only right numbers, what's wrong is the overall market numbers, 7th gen dying too quickly before the majority of 8th gen be able to really take off. The most striking example  is Ninty, 3DS+DS is still a lot below DS alone, not only at its peak, but also during its comfortable and slow decline after the peak, but before 3DS announcement, and Wii U + Wii is doing even worse. PSV + PSP is dong awfully too. PS4 + PS3 is doing very good and XBOne + XB360 more than decently (also considering XB360 is older than PS3 and Wii), but they alone can't stop the overall market decline if 3DS, Wii U and PSV don't better a lot.
Luckily PC gaming SW is thriving despite low HW sales, otherwise the situation would further worsen, from worrying to desperate for gaming outside of phones and tablets, PC + consoles could end up losing many big multiplat production. But PC could actually jump ship because it doesn't rely on royalties and it can run an Android subsystem (console HW could too, but it would kill their business model), and this would further accelerate consoles decline.
So, even if PS4 goes wonderfully, being part of the console market and relying on big multiplat games too, it can't be tranquil.

well yes Gen 7 was mighty and the DS was a monster,tablets & phones will obliterate the casual market,console gaming may be on the downslide but there has always been a gaming market and it isn't going anywhere just yet

I hope your optimism be well placed, but just to play safe Ninty and Sony should do their best for 3DS, Wii U and PSV too!
And if Ouya isn't enough, let's just hope other alternative consoles take as many Android users as possible to the right side of gaming (although about this we can be sure that many gamers use both consoles and/or PC and smartphones and tablets, so they can tell what dedicated platforms bring to gaming that tablets and phones cannot).

it is hard not to imagine that tablets will take over from consoles in most ways even smart TV's in a few years

i guess console gaming will be for teh big open world/racers online/co-op/multiplayer type experiences back to a  niche console market that needs a bit of power

Next week (26th April) numbers are available to view on the Comparison Graph.



26 April hw updated, PS4 has 3 Million gap with Xbox one.



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Told you guys... US adjusted... PS4 won this week.
