I don't see it. Let's assume Wii stops at 105mil. The PS3 is 32.5mil away from this figure. Best case scenario I can see is 10mil this year, and this is VERY MUCH best case scenario. A 7mil year then a 4mil year after that would leave it 11.5mil away; I don't see it getting another 11.5mil from that point.

So no, not really. 90-95mil seems like a reasonable limit.

Even Wii reaching 105m is an incredible stretch at this point. I wouldn't be surprised to see it die out before it passes PS1 

10 this year
8 next year
6 next
4 next
2 next

= 30m! - this would be enough to match PS1

Not quite sure how it'll only drop 20% after its successor is out on the market, software dries up and people have moved to the next generation. Similarly for the following years. When it drops it'll REALLY drop, like 50-60% YoY.

Nah man, PS3 isn't the Wii . Not the PSP either. It won't drop that much simply because it will be supported for a long time with multiplatform games and exclusives.

Exactly. Besides we don't even know if PS4 will launch this holilday and if it doesn't then 2014 could be another great year in sales.

I think people will be surprissed at how much of an effect Grand Theft Auto V has on sustaining current-gen console sales. Combine that with the PS3 exclusives like God of War and The Last of Us then COD and AC in the holidays....there's no way PS3 can drop below 10m this year.
