Why I`m here? I will try to be educated.

PS3 sold 6.573 million until 2th november. We have only 9 weeks and three days until the years end. To match what I said, PS3 needs to sell 3,327 million. I don`t said it will sell 9 million, but 9. something, wich is 9.0-9.99. 

Let`s look at last years sales: 3th november until 05th january - PS3 sold 4,8 million and I gave it 4 more days. If you discount your 30% (look at your post, "dude") = 4.8 - 30% =  3.36 million for this year! 

So, if PS3 sell that amount it will not reach 10 million (almost, of course).

I can be wrong, but this is not a random comment.

Let remember something: PS4 launch this year and we have this PS3 sales (6,5 million in 10 months), that maybe is still a little overtracked, with GTA Bundle. 

So, you're saying that the PS3 will sell 9.933M. Now factor-in the fact that VGChartz is undertracking the PS3 by 68,489 (since more than 80M by Nov 2nd). Using your estimate, that gives us 10.001489M PS3 in 2013.

I live how you wriggle your way out of this though with your 9.0-9.99. "The PS3 sold 9,999,999 - I was right, it did not reach the 10M mark... woo hoo"..

And guess what? The PS3 is still $269. The price hasn't dropped since 2011. Plenty of room to drop the price and plenty of legs left.

It did get a price cut since then, there is a $199 sku now
