PS360 are going to explode soon but I don't think they will ever past gen 8th.
Yeah, it was around this mark that the PS3 started really picking up steam and the 360 maintained it's groove well e ough, but the PS4 is carrying a lot of deadweight with the Xbox One.
I believe in the end, the PS3/360 will out perform the PS4/XBO and it's entirely Microsoft's fault. But the PS4 and Switch will prove that the console business is better (sales wise, ecosystem wise) than the previous generation.
PS3 and 360 were both selling great last gen. This gen, X1 sales aren't staying on pace.
The PS4 on its own will outsell the combined sales of PS360 combined. 170+ million sales for PS4 is possible.
