At first 100million seems like a very long shot, but after thinking about it, it is possible. MS executives had on a couple occasions mentioned that the victor of this generation will be determined by whoever crosses 100millions first. So obviously they had this goal in mind.

Surely, the 360 will have a shelf life of at least 9-10 years. We have almost 6 years left. If each years sells about 12 millions globally, then reaching 100 millions will not be so far fetch.

MS will probably still release a new machine in 2011-2012, but 360 will continue selling until 2015. Same case with PS3.

I don't think MS ever talked about 100 million and you are confusing it with the following MS spin regarding sales in the USA:

"History has shown us that the first company to reach 10 million in console sales wins the generation battle."
