I'm too messed up right now to understand that. Do those facts completely refute my point? Explain it to me like I'm 12 because I can't process those charts right now.

Just think of the console market in terms of ocean tides. High tide (peak sales) is towards the middle of a generation, while low tide is during the transition from one generation to another. We are at low tide right now.

This has been the norm since forever. The current decline in sales is perfectly normal and has little to do with the advent of certain "undesirable" forms of DLC. It was going to be like this regardless of anything else because the console market is cyclical like the ocean tides. If history is any indication, we'll be back at high tide around 2016.
