To those who don't understand my 60 million in 2008 prediction

[Final-Fan]

I'm not saying it'll DEFINITELY do only 10 million more till end of life, but I'm saying it's not that ridiculous. And it's certainly less ridiculous IMO than 30 million is. 15m is a good guess, I think.

And I think you missed the point of my statement, "As the PS3 picks up steam the PS2 will die out." I didn't mean that both of those things would happen to occur at the same time. I meant that one would contribute to causing the other. I firmly believe that the lackluster first year of the PS3 has abnormally extended PS2 sales. Given it a huge "Indian summer", as it were. Therefore, as the PS3 gains the momentum it should have had from the start, I expect PS2 sales to seriously fall off.

(I will note that the 40GB abomination is also helping the PS2 continue to sell. This effect will continue until/unless the 40GB is replaced/updated with BC.)

We'll see where the PS2 stabilizes after the holiday spike and, later on in the year, whether that plateau retreats further in the wake of PS3 advancements. 7 or 8 million? How many did it do in 2007?
