it's gonna have to be on the back of Europe because the sales in Japan are awful and PS4 isn't even out for a while yet. Sales in the US have fallen very quickly, if it's gonna get 100 million it will have to be from massive sales in other places.
The thing people are forgetting is that last gen was just so much longer than usual so we probably aren't gonna see a normal slower tapering off we have seen in following 5 year gens. We have already seen the start of what looks like sales dying pretty quickly, although Europe seems to be holding up better. For me it's a clear cut case in Japan, and the evidence is pointing to the in the US also.
Last year during this week in Japan wii had about the same sales as ps3 does now if that gives you some idea of how bad it might drop next year in Japan, wii sold 2k that week this year, a 90% drop.
the more i think about it the less likely it seems, the PS3 isn't gonna have a really low price like the PS2, and the PS4 is much more competitively priced than the PS3 was. A successful PS4 is gonna hurt PS3 sales pretty badly i think.
I'll take a wait and see approach but i suspect PS3 is gonna die pretty fast except in Europe.
