Is this the last of consoles as we know ?

With signs of the console market is shrinking in numbers , what are the odds the wii u, ps4 and new xbox being the last of consoles. I dont think we be seen similar numbers of users like the wii and ps2 had.

The ones Retr0 mention were all failures.

Oh, er, my bad. I've never actually owned a Sega console, only played them times where I'd trade with people who did. Systems I own/owned were Commodore 64, NES, SNES, N64, Cube, Xbox, Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3. The N64 expansion pack, yeah, it was a good addition to the console, but was a failure. I tried finding sales on it, but couldn't. I can only proxy it by how many people had games that used it. Looks like it would have been between 3 - 5 million depending on how generous we want to be in our guesswork.

You missed the glory that was the Atari Jaguar CD attachment. You know, the add on that makes your console look like a jacks.

I get a feeling they were going for a Star Trek Enterprise look - but failed.
