So now that PS3 overtaking 360 is a matter of weeks, how long until it reaches Wii?

I don't think it will happen - PS3 will hit 95m max.

Wait is this shipped or sold? By Vgchartz, PS3 will never go beyond 95m is what I mean.

I see everyone is ignoring China.

If China opens then yes, if not no.

If China is open then Japan will dump all its unsold 360's at their stores. Then the 360 will take over the top spot! Muahahahahahahah

This is probably not true.

@lawlight

22 million more! :-0

22 million isn't that big of a deal. PS3 + PS2 sold 16.5M during FY2012 despite the PS3 being at the same price (more actually) for more than 1 year.

I say it will not happen:
- Ps3 Lifetime sales: 94-99m
- Wii Lifetime sales: 100 - 105m

I would love to see the yearly sales prediction for anyone who thinks the PS3 will eventually catch it. Anyone up to the challenge?

It won't

I remember when people said this about it taking over the 360. Funny how things turn out, eh?

Well I wasn't one of those people. Sony fanboys will have to bow in second.

Right now, I don't think those "fanboys" really mind. But, the fact that the PS3 can even be mentioned in the phrase of "catching-the-Wii" is notable feat all on its own.

I can agree with that.

It won't happen. But it will get closer than I think the vast majority ever expected.

3 years I guess. Hell even 360 can pull it off with some damn overdue price cuts and the rumored $99 digital only 360.

Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

PS3 isn't PS2, people. Get over it.

So it won't sell 50m after it's successor is out. We all accept that I think. You have to look at price though because PS2 was at $200 by 2002 and 360 was at $200 in what? 2008? So PS3 has been more expensive and still hasn't hit that big price point. Aside from all that though PS3 will only need to sell less than 25% of its total after its successor is out. PS2 sold 33% of its total. It's been a longer gen so that's a reasonable drop especially factoring in the still high price. Also PSN is free so many third world customers (just getting it) will opt for that for all the indie titles it'll still be getting for awhile. In countries with limited internet Sony's single player focused IP will do very well. It's still pretty highly priced in Brazil but just got a major pricecut and will continue to sell there for some time methinks. So 20m or so after PS4 comes out isn't unreasonable. The percentages I mentioned shouldn't drop because they're not based on the big PS2 numbers just the percentage which is relative to the console and its previous sales.
