PS3 100 million lifetime.

why?

Because Sony will support the PS3 much longer than the X360 will be supported by MS. There will probably be a few exclusives for the PS3 in 2014 and Third world sales will be substantial in 2014-2016, much like we've seen with the PS2 in current gen.

That old chestnut.  On what do you base this? The original XBOX had distinct issues (re manufactring) and a small userbase.

3rd party support is FAR more important, 3rd parties will support 360 for as long as they support the PS3 no question.  They arent going to ignore an 80m userbase.

I can't specifically point to anything other than that old chestnut , but my perception is that MS has a different business philosophy than Sony in this regard. MS will very actively push and stimulate people to migrate to the new echo-system as quickly as possible while Sony is much more old-fashioned and disconnected and therefore always tries to handle more than what is practical.
