| Bubblicious said: If I'm correct the PS2 sold about 18-20 million in it's first year. The PS3 has barely managed to sell half that number in the same time so, No it will not reach 100 milllion. The PS3 lacks the PS2's momentum(which the Wii currently has) so it would take nothing short of a miracle to reach 100M. Even if Sony does stick to their 10 year plan, MS and Nintendo will roll out their new products in a few years which will become the new hot consoles and the PS3 will become old news as consumers will be expecting the PS4 as a retaliation(which is most likely to happen). |
Due to its staggered launch it actually sold a shockingly small number of units the first year it was out. PS3 fanboys love to cherry pick that one fact and ignore why it is true. You are correct though that it is not selling nearly as fast as the PS2 did. and the Wii is selling as fast or faster than the PS2 depending on market.
