Shouldn't be a problem, the PS2 sold another 44 million consoles after the PS3.


Yet again, the Ps2 had no competition whatsoever. It crushed the other consoles, and several price cuts after 2005 were the icing on the cake. You can't really say the same about the Ps3.


They had to sell PS2s in the same outlets that sold PS3s, 360s, and Wiis, did they not? The fact that PS3 still manages a 400k week during the holidays WITHOUT a price cut, I really only see this as a question of when will it reach 100 million. Has Sony recently announced they're going to drop PS3 support and hault production or something? Stop shipping them in 2015? Unless we hear something like that, I don't see why 100 million is so hard to imagine.

Furthermore, the software support is definitely there; Lightning Returns, DBZ: Battle of Z, Drakengard 3, Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2, Tales of Symphonia Chronicles are all coming early this year. Not to mention, the annual COD,Madden, Fifa, etc probably won't stop releasing for a couple more years. Give the PS3 a super duper slim version, a couple of price cuts, and 100 million isn't quite the stretch all the nay-sayers would have everyone believe. What's the PS3 at right now, anyway? 81 million?
