PS2 shipped 117 million consoles until March 31 2007 according to official numbers by Sony, so basically sold 40 million more alongside PS3. Obviously PS3 is not PS2, but doesn't need to be. If Wii stops selling and ends with 101-102 million lifetime and PS3 finish 2013 around 82-83 million, it needs 20 million more or less to beat Wii. I think Ps3 will last until end 2018, that's an average of 4 million each year.

It will be close and difficult but PS3 CAN overtake Wii.


And taking 12 years to sell the same amount of consoles that Nintendo sold in ~5 years is truly triumphant...

Judging from this thread, it seems Sony is the 'disputable' winner in home console sales.

Units sold are units sold....

But easy..., I'm not saying PS3 won anything, i was just explaining how ps3 can overtake wii sales.


I'm sorry.  I quoted you because you did a good job laying out the numbers, but really I intended for my comment to be directed at everyone in general.  I agree that the ps3 might overtake the Wii in a few years, but taking twice as long to reach the same sales does not make Sony the 'Undisputable' winner. 

I apologize if my comment came off as sharp.  I didn't intend for it to be that way.
