Lets use the more pessimistic scenario for PS3: It sits at 85 million in April 2014. Because PS3 was not the dominant console this gen, lets say 15% of all PS3s will be sold after PS4/720 comes out. That will leave the PS3 still sitting at around 98 million. Damn impressive, even if you're pessimistic.

I'll never understand how a consoles dominance is relevant to this argument. I know it was a different time but all I can think of is the SNES. The Genesis was the dominant system but Nintendo supported the SNES for years after the Genesis was off the market and they actually ended up overtaking them as a result. Having a smaller market share in 1993 didn't stop Nintendo from supporting their console because the only thing that could stop the sales of the SNES was the release of the N64.

What?  This is just wrong.  Both consoles were pretty even, but the SNES ended up outselling the Genssis by somewhere between 8 and 12 million units.  I wouldn't say either console dominated.
