The trend in the current generation is strongest so far (at least for Sony) <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ign.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2014&#x2F;11&#x2F;14&#x2F;playstation-4-continues-to-outpace-ps2-challenging-wii-for-fastest-selling-console" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ign.com&#x2F;articles&#x2F;2014&#x2F;11&#x2F;14&#x2F;playstation-4-continu...</a> and even for MS it&#x27;s pretty good from what I remember. I am guessing all the analysts making these predictions are looking at Nintendo, which had been in decline since 1990s and only caught one lucky break with Wii. It&#x27;s being back to its normal state will look like a declining trend only for somebody who learned about game consoles when Wii came out.<p>Doing trends for mobile games over short periods of time is entertaining but I am old enough to remember the same trend building that led to Zynga&#x27;s IPO, social games were to kill console games before mobile games in the good old times of 2010-2011.
