THE PS2 remains the king!

Sales peak? Where are you getting that from? The system costs more right now than the Wii at launch. I'd say it'll peak when it reaches the mainstream price of $149. If at $129, the PS3 isn't able to 100M sold, then you'll be right. But as it stands, the PS3 is at 78-79M at $270 (and that's the lowest price worldwide). As the price becomes affordable in developing countries, the sales will keep accumulating. Sales aren't going to die any time soon.

Also, 78-79M is not 1/3rd of 155-160M.

Yes, sales peak.  As in it will not sell as many units year over year as it did in 2011, hence its sales have peaked.

As for your prices, I don't think you grasp the actual BOM in the PS3.  Outside of retailer prices to reduce inventory, we may never see the PS3 officially priced at $129.  Again, this is the PS3, not the PS2.  You can't extrapolate equally from one to the other.  Different factors, different market forces, different BOM, etc...

Because the PS3 has reached saturation at that price point. How hard is that to understand? Surely, you're doing that on purpose, right?
