I&#x27;m not sure sure about a roaring trade. Games consoles are niche platforms. Look at the numbers: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vgchartz.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vgchartz.com&#x2F;</a><p>The global life to date figures are 12.4 million Wii Us sold since November, 2012. 19.2 million Xbox Ones and 35.3 million PS4 sold since November, 2013.<p>Contrast that with PC shipments, where 70 million in one quarter is considered a bad result: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;betanews.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;09&#x2F;pc-shipments-decline-in-windows-10s-launch-quarter&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;betanews.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;09&#x2F;pc-shipments-decline-in-windo...</a><p>Or contrast it with the iPad&#x27;s quarterly sales: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.statista.com&#x2F;statistics&#x2F;269915&#x2F;global-apple-ipad-sales-since-q3-2010&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.statista.com&#x2F;statistics&#x2F;269915&#x2F;global-apple-ipad-...</a><p>In FY2014 Apple sold 250 million iOS devices: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.geeky-gadgets.com&#x2F;apple-to-sell-its-billionth-ios-device-this-quarter-22-10-2014&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.geeky-gadgets.com&#x2F;apple-to-sell-its-billionth-ios...</a><p>Add in Android phones and tablets and the games consoles are dwarfed in comparison, even the 3DS which has sold the most of the current games console generation.
