PS3 - 100M-105M

360 - 90M-95M

Got to laugh at people predicting PS3 to hit barely 90M or slightly more. By the end of next year, it should be ~89M-90M. Do people seriously think it will only sell a couple more million after another price cut and at least 2 more years (probably discontinued in '17-'18) of sales?

Taged for the future.

Sales have fallen 50% in 2013, "only" 7mi sold, they can fell even more in 2014 with the next generation.

What games people buy PS3 for? What feature the PS3 has the next generation consoles don´t?

And how can it open a 9mi gap in the next 4 years if in the last 4 years never reached more than 2mi advantage (accordingly to VGChartz).??? 

50%?  What crazy numbers are you looking at?  According to VGC, 360 is down 47% without the final week of sales and PS3 is down 32%.  When all the numbers are in, the 360 will probably be down 40%-45%, while the PS3 will be down 25%-30%.  Next year will probably see similar drops, maybe slightly lower given a price cut.  And as you can see, the 360 is dropping quite a bit faster than the PS3, so the gap will only continue to increase.

Edit:  Also, what are you talking about 4 years for?  The PS3 just passed the 360 earlier this year.  In just several months following that, it has opened a 1M+ between it and the 360.  Given that the 360's sales are going to slow much faster than the PS3's WW, a 5M-10M gap is definitely not out of the question.


25% drop? Sorry, you are delusional if you look only at the PS2 case. 

It was a completely different case from today. Look at your avatar, Sony released God of War 1 and 2 when the 360 and PS3 were out. Do you think Uncharted 4 will be released on the PS4. They have already admited GT6 was a mistake.

And, I think you belive the PS4 is the perfect console, don´t you? So, why any one would buy a PS3 two years from now when they can buy a PS4 that is a much better console?

Just look at the Wii/WiiU situation.

Other thing I noticed, people here overstimate the effect of price cut.
