PS3 will be at around 75m at the end of this year. Next year they'll be riding the price cut/remodel effect, but let's say that even with those it just avoids falling by a huge margin. Let's say it still falls to 10m sold for the year.
That leaves PS3 at 85m, just as PS4 launches. You don't see PS3 selling those 15m LT? Even in developing nations where they're very slow to adopt HW? PS2 sold 50m+ after this gen started, PS3 only needs 30% of that, and it's selling at around 60% the pace of PS2.
There's a real possibility. It's not guaranteed, but it can't be dismissed.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.
