The ps2 had no competition- the ps3 has a twin and the wii to compete with. Sales will be boosted sure, but the 100m mark is just aiming too high under these circumstances.

Not to mention it would be the first console ever to more than quadruple its first 3 years of sales.


I think the SNES may be around there. I am not sure how much it sold in the first three years, but I do know that most of its sales came after Donkey Kong Country came out when the system was nearly 4 years old. Before that it was getting trounced by the Megadrive which held 2/3rds of the total 16-bit market.

I don't think thats true, the megadrive just launched a lot earlier than the SNES, but once released, i'm pretty sure the SNES trounced the megadrive much like the Wii trounced the xbox 360.

 

Snes definitely sold more than 15 million in 3 years.
