The finish line isn't some imaginary thing made up by you or anyone else here that makes them feel better or gives them a sense of victory. There is no "Next console released, so all sales after this point are irrelevant". After the 720, WiiU and PS4 are all released, the previous gen will still go on, which is why DS still sells well and the PS2 sold 50M+ after the newer consoles released. History doesn't look at things that way either. If we look in 6 years and none of this gens consoles are being shipped aymore, that is when we know where each finished. Remember, PS2 didn't finish with 100M sales. It will finish with ~160M.
Staying power is VERY relevant and Sony looks to try and maintain it, evident by their 2013 release schedule. |
Thats the thing. PS2 will finish with 160 but its generation ended a looong time ago.
