I'm curious. What were the PS2's numbers for 05 and 06?

It was only just coming off its peak at that point so mid teens in millions. 

shipped 16.2m year to March 2006

shipped 14.8m year to March 2007

This is why you people should extrapolate, compare or even glance at PS2 when preciting trends for the PS3.  The highest shipment year for the PS3 doesnt even get in the top 6 shipment years for the PS2.

PS2 top annual shipments

22.5 - 2002 (FY)

20.1 - 2003

18.1 - 2001

16.2 - 2004

16.2 - 2005

14.8 - 2006

 

PS3 highest

14.3

 

 

fair but I wasn't saying PS3 would sell that much.  I'm merely looking at the decline.  Looks like PS2 stayed the same the first year a next gen console was out and then went down about 2 million the next year.  We're dealing with smaller numbers but I'll say PS3 maintains that trend or even goes down a million in 2013 (which I don't think will happen with the big $199 price cut coming  and 5 awesome looking exclusives coming in the first half, but we'll give you the benefit of the doubt).  Let's say it ends up at 11 million this year (consevative estimate).  Then it goes to 10 million next year.  Then 8 million the next year.
