At best, the PS3 will have another 4 years of life (and that's being extremely optimistic). In order for it to sell 45m within 4 years, it would have to average ~11.3m consoles per year. Considering it'll only sell 11-12m this year and even less next year, there's no way it'll average over 11m for the next 4 years. It's final 4 years aren't going to match its first 6 years. And that's assuming it'll be on sale for the next 4 years. It may be discontinued. And if its not, it will only sell tiny amounts (4-5m per year) during 2014-2016 until it finally dies. You should have just predicted 100m. It's an excellent milestone and is actually possible. |
It will be on the market for longer than 4 more years. It still has a full year at least before the Ps4 is out and the Ps2 is still being shipped after 6 years of the Ps3 being out... and will probablly still sell after the ps4 launches. I expect the Ps2 to be discontinued a year after the Ps4 launches (unless Sony cant produce all 3 systems at the same time) but that would be 7-8 years after the Ps3 came out.
