Just becuase there are a lot of PS3 fanboys on the web, doesn't mean it will materialize into real sales. If that was the case, games like God of War Ascension would have sold 2 million by now.
Fact is gaming in general is in decline. Why do people not see this as a major factor?
Casual gamers who adopted the Wii have moved onto tablet devices. And even hardcore games are not selling that well these days.
PS3 may be selling well now but have you ever thought to yourselves why? It certainly isn't the games because PS3 games do not sell better than 360 games, despite more PS3's being sold.
Regardless of the why's I do think the PS4 could still very much win next gen though, but its not going to hit anywhere near 100 mil units. This gen has gone on for far too long and I think it has hurt gaming overall.
Even if PS4 is the best selling console next gen, I cant see it selling more than 50 million units. XBONE would probably do around 30 mil. WiiU around 15 - 18.

Please stop with your tablet thing ,console and tablet are different market ps2 i thing was a hardcore gamers but it sold very well ps4 won't sell better then tablets but if Sony don't make mistakes they will sold in 100 millions range.

Missed the point entirly.
Casual gamers make consoles a success. It happened with PS2. It happened more so with the Wii. Are you really suggesting all the 100 mil or so wii gamers are hardcore??? Please they are soccer moms who have traded in their wii's for ipads... which is why wii is in such a dismal state at the moment, and will never recover.
That is why no one console could possibly see the same success as wii / ps2.

Don't you think the lately overcasualization of gaming can have transformed a whole bunch of casuals into hardcore ?
By the way casuals have social/mobile gaming, they don't need console, but things like digital sales and ps+ really incent to buy more games, so less console sales is not less profit.
Maybe we go in a direction where overall income from console gaming will be up, but consoles number will go down.
Maybe PS4 can beat PS2 in terms of number of software sales. Just maybe.
