Stever89,

Where is your prediction for life time (and 2008)?
I misunderstood probably, but in your post to CrazzyMan you mentioned 16 mill or so PS3s sold in 2008 - was that only forhis crazy comparison between PS3 vs PS2 and CrazzyMan's 16 mill for the year?.

 Yeah, I think Wii will probably be at 150 million (the number of elders is growing... lol), PS3 at 35 million, and the 360 not far behind.

In the post to CrazzyMan, I was simply showing how "crazzy" it would be for the PS3 to get to 100 million. My comparisons (which you can download from my sig) show that consoles just don't go through a "rebirth" after games and/or pricecuts. The GameCube never saw an increase over it's launch year sales even with pricecuts and great (mostly Nintendo) games. I said 16 million PS3 second year which is not 2008, it's Nov 17, 2007 to Nov 17, 2008 for NA and Japan, and March 23, 2008 to March 23, 2009 for Others. I used that number because the PS2 sold 18 million it's second year, after it sold 13 million in it's first year. That's only an increase of 5 million. People are talking about the PS3 increasing nearly 7 or 8 million, which has NEVER happened, as far as my data shows. Also, since the PS3 only sold 7 million first year (though we're not at March, so let's increase that to 8 million for arugments sake), to increase to 16 million, that's a 100% increase year over year (meaning, 2nd year sales compared to 1st year sales). The PS2 only saw an increase of 40%. The GameCube and Xbox saw barely none (the gamecube actually fell 2nd year). 

That's way more than you probably wanted to know (a "no" would have worked probably? lol), but... now you know!
