Nah, but then again, I never thought it would. It could pass the PS1, maybe even reach the 110mill mark, but the PS2 will remain the highest selling home console once this gen concludes.

LOL could? You're aware PS1 is at 103 mill shipped right?

The emphasis on the "could" was actually to indicate that it will contradict what many think (meaning - "yes it could [can] pass the PS1" rather than "it could pass the PS1 but it won't"). I stand by it that it may not pass much more than 110 million and may perhaps crawl to 115 or 120 mill. Could end up wrong and it do a little higher, but I don't forsee it passing the PS2 at all.

I think "can" was the gramatically appropriate word for you to use. "Could" implies what Seece got out of it, "yeah, it could, in a pig's eye," or something like that. "Can" is more positive.

On topic: I always thought it would land somewhere between 100 and 120 million myself, and i never saw it getting up to PS2 levels simply because of market fragmentation. That's why Nintendo's going the way it is with Cafe, to see if they can conquer wider bands of the market and marginalize the competition in a way that the PS2 did (unless you liked Halo 2 or were a Nintendo fanboy, PS2 made the others irrelevent)
