1. No, I don't believe PS3 won't decline. No decline would mean 50m sales in 4 years. It will only need 20m.

I don't feel like arguing on this subject any longer, because for one -  it's all speculation so we can go on forever, and two - it's such a ridiculous notion on the first place.

But I do feel it necessary to respond to this.. 50 million in 4 years? Where on earth are you getting this?

100k per week x 4.5 weeks = roughly 450k per month.. x 12 months = 5.4 mill per year.. x 4 years = 21.6 mill (net gain) in 4 years. And remember, that's with NO DECLINE, which obviously won't happen. Especially once you add PS4 to the mix. Obviously PS3 numbers will jump during the holiday, but factoring in the slower weeks, it'll pretty much average out. Plus, Wii numbers will also jump during the holiday.

Dude, the PS3 doesn't average 100,000 a week over a year. During FY2012, it averaged about 260,000 a week.

Personally, I can't wait for the PS3's price to go down so that it can become affordable in developing countries. Should be interesting to see the reactions of Nintendo fans.
