99 might be impossible, but a 149.99 should be realistic.  

I see no reason killing it, given the more PS out in the world the more PSN users the more digital sales the more PS+ subscribers the more controllers and what not sold. More markets with PS brand awareness more PS owners looking to upgrade to PS4 in the distant future.

It could equate to it being barely breaking even on the consoel yet overall very lucrative  keeping it going, for gods sake PS2 got Fifa 14 

Is there any idea what the superslim costs are ?

I'm sure $150 is realistic as is $130 or so.

But it there is more to it than just how much can it be reduced. Retailers have to also want to stock and display it. As well as is there general demand for the aging system. We have to remember than this gen lasted longer than previous gens and their successors came well years later than we've seen historically. Its very likely PS360 simply won't be able to sell for so many years after the others.

NES SNES PS1 and PS2 all massively dominated their generations. Thus they had the obvious late gamer appeal due to be the defact source for all of the best games available.

PSWii60 all are going to end with relatively close lifetime sales and no massive dominance. Each with their own selection of great games. I simply do not see any of these consoles lasting the length of time previous generation winners have done post-successor launch. None of them are really similar to those market dominators.

130 would be an awseome price.

360 seems to be dropping  harder then PS3, add the fact Asia and Europe lay heavely in its favor.  Its library is much more fresh and more relevent. Its apperant PS3 will have the longest life, im sure retailers can spare a shelf for the old dog if it means PS4 supplies right.  360 has US but PS3 has a whole emerging world to still sale to.  

I also think Sony out of pride will make sure to get past 100m, 3 consoles 3 +100m sellers.
