Thinking that the PS3 won't finish first... lol. Dude, come on - be serious for a bit

i am serious dude. think about it. the generation is practically over. how is Sony supposed to sell 20 million consoles? especially since the successor is right around the corner. unless a PS2-PS3 co-existence situation happens, where the PS3 kicks the PS4's ass for a while.

PS2 sold about 50 million consoles after the PS3 launched.  PS3 is still at a very high price point 199$ now, compare that to PS2 at 99$.  There is still a lot of room for PS3 to reduce price and sell more.  PS3 may not even have to outsell PS4, 20 million in a few years is not a ridiculous notion.  

people bought the PS2 over the PS3 because Sony made the PS3 so unatrractive (dat 600$ pricepoint). how attractive do you think the PS4 look like right now compared to the PS3 back then?

Still very attractive, especially considering that there are still a few more games coming out for it and that the PS4 can't play PS3 games.  Another 50 million in a few years is probably a ridiculous idea, but 20 million?  It's very reasonable.  
It's pretty consistently selling 100k every week without being a holiday and no game releases.  Holidays are when a lot of the systems are going to be sold.  So consider even 7 million this year.   5 million next, 4 million next(price cut), 3 million.  Those are probably low estimates. It's not unreasonable to assume it'd make 20 million.

we shall see then. wanna bet or something?
