It depends. If the PS3 can really manage to sell 20 million units more, then it means that it wasn't really over. 20 million would be 1/4 of what PS3 sold up to now and, even though I think it's really unlikely, it would be a clear sign that the generation wasn't over.

PS2 sold about 33% of its total after its successor came out.  If PS3 manages just 20% of its sales post PS4 launch it will be above Wii

Yes, you're right, but PS2 was PS2 and it was helped by the horrible PS3 start.

PS3 is not in a position to sell this much after PS4 hits the market. 

that's why I'm saying PS3 won't reach 33% in legacy.  That much is obvious with a longer gen and better PS4 start, BUT PS3 is more expensive than PS2 was at this point in its life cycle and therefore has more mass market prices to reach to give itself boosts.

I see your point, but I think your idea is a stretch. I don't think there's gonna be any significant bump with further price cuts. It's gonna sell, but 20 million seems just way too much.

Let's see.
