I'm having trouble understanding the validity of this information. Basically what the report says is that if you cut the Wii out of the big picture the industry is in a decline compared to last generation. Doesn't seem like their comparing apples to apples. I don't see the logic in removing the most successful of the 3 consoles and then by comparing the 2 less successful consoles to the previous generation declare that the industry is in a decline.

They say that sales are down, but they show US console sales are up and Euro console sales are pretty much the same. They expect console sales to drop, but isn't that how it works? I always assumed that console sales would remain steady or drop after the initial year.

Also where did you guys get the quote from? It wasn't in that article you linked.

The quote comes from the source.
And the reason why they see problems is because Xbox and Playstation clearly ruled the previous generation. That's why they also say that casual gaming is the current drive for consoles while the "traditional" gaming industry is going downhill

they are talking out of there asses,look at there wage packets and u wont see that reflected probably the oposite,greedy mofos
