Fair enough, but that is assuming PS3 sales don't drop after PS4 releases. :)

Of course... and Sony predicted they will ship 10 million PS3 until March, 2014.

This was a weird generation concerning sales, that is for sure.

No kidding.

- The lowest selling console is still on track to sell around 80 million units. 
- This gen will be 8 years old by the time the PS4 and Xone are out, and will still see plenty sales for a while after.
- The PS3 started out with a disastrous launch and a $600 price point still ended up being second (by a sliver), while the 360 nearly quadrupled the X.O.G.'s sales, eating deep into Sony's marketshare alongside Nintendo, and still ended up being third (by a sliver). What's more, it took over 6 years for Sony to surpass MS in sales.
- Meanwhile, Nintendo nearly quintupled the Gamecube's sales with the Wii and went from being a close third to a solid first place.

One thing's for sure, though; no way in hell are total hardware sales going to jump so high over last gen (almost 25%!). If anything, I expect it to shrink by more than it grew this gen.
