PS3's getting slapped around in Japan, but the lead is just north of a million units. Far from insurmountable. They'd have a harder time climbing out of the 360 US hole than the Wii Japan hole. You're using shipped units, not sold units, so obviously your figures would not be a measure of userbase. I also gave sales numbers for GTA3 in North America to take into account that I was using only using North American hardware sales. Seriously, why would I count Japan with GTA? It's a moderate success at best. And European sales figures are too spotty to mess with.

In order to get some serious penetration, I'd put $200 as the figure as well. However, Sony should be able to hit 15-20 million prior to hitting that. During the 18 months that PS2 was at $300, they sold 9 million. I agree we haven't really seen any big announcements for Sony lately, outside their own internal work, but we haven't seen much from the others either.
