The industry has experienced fast growth for over 20 years now.
I believe every generation from the NES has opened it up to a wider group of consumers, especially the Playstation and Wii and less so the SNES and Megadrive.
The Wii is just continuing this pattern. The playstation probably did just as much to 'save' the industry.
1G - 76m - 13m (SMS) + 63m (NES)
2G - 78m - 29m (SMD) + 49m (SNES)
3G - 152m - 17m (SS) + 33m (N64) + 102m (PS)
4G - 189m - 11m (DC) + 22m (NGC) + 132m* (PS2) + 24m (Xbox)
*Still being manufactured
