You need to brush up on your PS console sales history. Historically, a PS console will sell 33% to 50% more after the predecessor has been released.


Every one of those PS consoles has been a generation leader, with a monopoly really on support while being the go-to console in every region.

The PS3 doesnt have these luxuries. Japan isnt going to support the PS3 like Japan supported the PS2. America wont support the PS3 like America supported the PS2. 

Europe is another ballpark, as the PS3 is actually doing really well over here. America's "legacy" system will be the 360. Japan wont have one, because Japanese gamers will swiftly move along to either the very affordable 3DS or Wii U/PS4.
