92 mill - 100 mill tops. I think as of now, most people who want one, have one, and with the advent of the next-gen on the horizon, sales will only slow down.

You're dead wrong there. I want a PS3 but it is too expensive and I live in Canada. I can imagine somebody living in Brazil or India.

Dead wrong? You have to also include those whose want for a PS3 will be replaced by a nextgen console. Plus in most places it's really rather cheap. In the UK it's £150. That's less then almost all smart phones...

£150 is an expensive toy for a lot of people living in the developed world, let alone developing nations. The exorbitant cost of smart phones doesn't factor into this discussion at all. A cutting edge smart phone that has many non-gaming functions versus an aging game console that does nothing right beyond Netflix and Blu-Rays. Again, I think you are drastically underestimating the impact further price cuts will have. I own dozens of PS3 games but I never bothered to replace my PS3 due to cost, I can imagine somebody living in Brazil who has yet to purchase any PS3 games.

Smart phones are the majority of phones and cost £250+ for the average ones. I'm not sure where you're getting the idea from that it is expensive - it's also a bluray player don't forget. 

" an aging game console that does nothing right beyond Netflix and Blu-Rays."

Oh. I see you're angle here. You don't really want a PS3 do you?
