u underestimate teh power of teh cell. But seriously, I understand if you don't believe that it won't be able to reach 40 million, but you expect the PS3 to sell less than 16 million by the time the next generation starts? I don't compute.

 

We are in the middle of the generation the X360 started in Nov/05, it has been 3 years since then and they are close to 27 million, only 2-3 more years and the next generation will be upon us.

Most of the systems are sold in the beggining and while the Wii and X360 were able to catch some size in the market, the PS3 couldnt do the same, now fewer games will come to their system and the X360 will get the hardcore-exclusive games while the PS3 barely will survive with the X360´s ports.

What is next for the PS3 is a lowering in the sales no matter how cheat they were, it happened the N64 vs. PSone, the DC vs. PS2, GCN vs. X-Box and the GCN vs. PS2, i lived in the GCN era and we all believed and wanted that a price cut will do the favor against the other two system, no matter what game came out, no matter which price the system got, it never did anything in favor of the GCN dying in less than 4 years.

I was a little bit unsure about this path for the PS3, but know that Metal Gear Solid 4 didnt make it, i m pretty sure that no game will do it, too bad for the PS3 fan boys but at this point, they barely will reach 35 million.
