PS2 has reportedly sold 140 million consoles world wide in 9 years. I will be very surprised if PS3 sells 70 million consoles ltd.
PS2 had a lot of third party exclusives due to its monopoly of last console generation and it had a year or two head start over its competition. PS3 fans to even believe PS3 sales will match PS2 sales is a joke.
A generation on a PS3 only has its first party exclusive titles remains and most of the Sony third party titles (99%) are now multi-platform and sell much better on the XBox 360.
PS3 is far from future proof and it will be lucky to last 7 or 8 years. Only the market leading console of any given generation lasts 10 years or longer.
BTW: This exact same thread has been done before on here.
