@Doktor85,
Last generation DC PS2 Xbox and NGC was 180mln. These consoles are all the same in a way (same controller style). If the Wii didn't exist the market for this generation will be like 200mln. However the Wii exists and will extend the market with 30mln at max.
Nice. I was saying that for long time before. =)
30 mln. ? yes it could. BUT also could 100 mln. NOBODY knows how many there casual non-gamers willing to pay 99$ for Wii TOY.
Also NOBODY knows How many of those non-gamers will eventually want HD gaming, that won`t expand gaming market, but can increase ps3/x360 sales.
So NO. PS3 will never get to 100mln.
Never say NEVER. Wii did only 20 mln. that is only 1/6 from PS2 userbase and 1/9 (or 11%) from whole theoretical userbase.

Well, they are non-gamers.  So by labeling definition, they will NOT want true 100% real WTF mind blowing gaming system.  Those senior adults who can't even see that well without glasses.  They can't know how crisp that HD is from 20 feet away.  Yeah, I'm talking about those old fogies that are over the hill.  You know.  Older than 35.  And don't get me started about girls wanting to play on a MAN's  gaming machine.   (by 'girls', I mean all females, of course).  They would only want sissy games anyway and destroy the gaming world as it has been for centuries.

The kids (younger than Leo) have their Wii, and if they play that console with others in their family, well, who needs that kind of player anyways.

And non-online players, don't even think that just because PS3 doesn't have MS size of online that you'll be welcome here either.

But other than the traitors to X360, PS3 has all the rest of us.  Those can afford it, that is.  Sony should keep the price of the PS3 high enough to keep the lower riffraff out.  Better games that way, since they will be just the kinds that we like and no others, like what happened with the PS2.  Final Fantasy?  That's a hardcore game?  I think not!  See what happens when you allows others in?

 



Torturing the numbers.  Hear them scream.
