it wont Pass Wii... Ever.
Once Ps4 is announced Ps3 will slow in sales just like Wii, it wont sell like Ps2 since 360 will still be around and Wii aswell.
I expect it to end in the 90m mark along 360 with 87m or so.

Either accept the PS2 numbers as well or don't use this Wiki chart for your argument.

Wii is dead. That is pretty much universally accepted by now. It has no more games coming (not even Lego), no Nintendo support and will ship 2-3m or less this year. Wii is no threat to PS3's longevity. 360 likely not either since we only know of one exclusive coming this year and it's a spin-off. 360 will die before PS3. PS3 won't sell like PS2, but it might sell like PS1. |
Wii is dead, but that gap is still pretty large for PS3 to close.

Depends really. If it sees a price drop it could just cannibalize PS4 sales if the consumer doesn't see the PS4 as a necessary upgrade. Wii sales slowling down the way they did was unexpected, I think PS2 was outselling the PS3 for a while after it launched.
Even with current PS3 and Wii sales, it would take 3 years Pezus. 3 Years.
But we all know PS3 sales will decline starting this year, after E3 off course and beyond.

Yes. PS3 will sell between 110 and 120 million... my bet is near 115 million lifetime.
Don't know if it will pass Wii, but the emerging markets will help. I'm in Brazil and can tell you that no one here want
Don't know if it will pass Wii, but the emerging markets will help. I'm in Brazil and can tell you that no one here wants a Wii. It is considered obsolete here, you only see PS3 and 360 in stores. Websites e-mail offers don't come with nothing about the Wii anymore, so it could give PS3 a shot at that mark.
In this kind of market, a PS4 launch won't change anything. PS3 only started selling really 2 years ago here, when the price became better. In emerging markets, PS3 legs will surpass PS2 simply because PS3 is more expensive than PS2 was in the same time frame. A PS3 costs US$ 500~600 here and that is too expensive. The PS2 cost was around US$ 350~400 in 2005 and the piracy made it a more affordable alternative than PS3 is today (new games cost US$85~100, older titles are around US$40~50). 360 will sell well here for long too. I predict that PS4/720 won't be relevant in emerging markets until 2016 (with a 2013 launch). PS360 sales will probably increase here by a healthy margin in the next 3 years.
Comparing shipments it with PS2, PS2 have 104 million units in 2006 (http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/PlayStation_2) and PS3 will probably have somethinh around 75~77 around March. So PS3 is having roughly 75% of PS2 shipments. Calculating by an aproximated 150 million PS2 lifetime sales, we have 112 millions for PS2, what looks even a good prediction because PS3 may have longer legs because of the higher price point when comparing it with PS2 at the same time.

Thats basically 4-5 years worth of PS3 sales......not taking into account sales declines and next Xbox/PS4 taking the wind out of it.
I cant take your predictions seriously :P
