Can we seriously drop this. When you set unrealistic expectations for something, it then leads to dissapointment when it inevitably doesn't meet them.

If you set reasonable expectations, then you are happy if and when they are met.

The PS3 did well, and the PS4 will do fine too. Isn't that sufficient?

Unrealistic expectations? Thanks for backing up your post.

Search through my post history, and you will find dozens of responses to the exact same point. I am sick of bothering to provide evidence. If you claim that the sky is green, I will respond with "no, of course it's blue". If you follow it up with "prove it". I am not going to bother to get a camera, go to the window, and take and upload a photo. If you want me to believe that the sky is green, you had better have some good evidence.

I'm trying really hard to picture a scenario in which this will happen:

 

1) Obviously, the first requirements are Nintendo and MS both leave the console business, which I am finding hard to believe.

2) It would also require the PS4 to completely fail, which is VERY unlikely, especially if we point 1 comes true.

3) Even the 2 above would probably not be enough - it would require not only the main competition to fail, but also the PS3 to have some big system selling games. They currently have nothing that can push the sort of numbers that you are predicting, but I suppose if Nintendo leaves the console (and handheld) businesses, they might end up making some games for the PS3.

 

Help me out here, I would really like to believe that you have reasons for this level of confidence in the PS3.
