Even lifetime, that seems a bit tough. I mean, it's only selling about as well as a "failed" Wii in it's absolute best year, I'm not sure you can really expect the machine to double it's userbase after 3 years on market. Saturn didn't, N64 didn't, GameCube didn't, and those are the platforms whose JP sales align most closely with PS3 (GC slightly under, N64/SS a bit ahead). FFXIII is PS3's biggest game, I'm not sure there's anything possible on the horizon that to keep it from being downhill afterwards. Maybe FFXV? It's not getting DQ or MH... |
Actually, PS3 will be 4M+ already by the end of November and probably 4.5M+ by the end of this year.
Saturn, N64, GC didn`t have such great 3rd party support as PS3 has. For 2010 alone:
FFXIV, SO4 International, Front Mission Evolved, Yakuza 4, Ar Tonelico 3, Trinity: Zill'Ol, Nier, Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2, Super Street Fighter 4, Metal Gear Solid Rising, Sengoku Basara 3, Castlevania: Lords of Shadows, Dinasty Warriors: Troy, First of the North Star, End of Eternity, FFXIIIv, White Album, Last Rebellion, Quantum Theory, RE5: Alternate Edition.
And that are only announced games. Not to mention 1st and 2nd party PS3 games. GT5 also will keep PS3 momentum.
