-It sold 33m in about 3.3 years. That's 10m a year so far. that's pretty good considering: 

   1.) the price just hit 299$ last august,                                                                                                                                                                   

   2.) It came on the market a year after its HD competitor with little to no (good) games at a very high price.  

-If sony fulfills their promise the Ps3 stays on the market 10 years, it will sell 100m. That's assuming it sells at the same rate since it's been out at 10m a year.

-But will it sell at the same rate it has since it's been out. I think it will because:

   1.) These next 6.7 years should have much better games than the ones already released.   

   2.) These next 6.7 years will have the ps3 at a price range from 299$ and lower, as oppsosed to the first 3.3 years being at 299$ to like          500$( not sure of the actual starting price).            

   3.) Game devolopers are just now reaching the full capability of the system. 

That's all assuming that Sony keeps the Ps3 out for 10 years. Who knows what the future has in store for the Ps3, or what sony has up their sleeves, or what Arc/Natal will do, or if the world will end in 2012. I won't be surprised if it sold 100m copies. I predict somewhere between 90m and 110m. 

 

This is such a great post Jay.
