Both consoles and PC are doing very well right now, so I'm not sure what Nvidia is talking about...

I would have to agree with Nvidia. There are a lot more people realizing that Pc gaming isn't all that hard to get into, and these days, a lot of gamers have a Pc/Console. However, consoles for me will never go away as long as games like Persona, Bloodborne, Ys, and The Legend of Heroes are exclusive.

I'm guessing Nvidia is just cranky they didn't make the graphics cards for the new generation lol. So many other ways? Umm...other than the console that leaves PC...no thank you

I am inclined to agree that last gen was the console "Golden Age" of gaming, but the sales of current consoles speaks to the contrary unfortunately. Sorry Nvidia.

Of course it's on decline! Looks at the NVidia data:

6th gen: 24 million console GPUs sold.

7th gen: 85 million console GPUs sold.

8th gen: 0 console GPUs sold.

Coming from their own shipment data!
