DS and Wii trends are irrelevant to the Playstation brand as Nintendo does not support legacy systems nearly as extensively as Sony. In 2012 and 2013 the PSP's sales were down YoY by 42, then 28 percent. If the PS3 trends downward at the same rate then we can expect it to sell 5093833 and 3667560 units in 2014 and 2015. That leaves the lifetime sales at just over 91 million. Unless sales drop another 45 percent in 2016 with production ending by the end of the year sales will exceed 93 million. The PS3 stands to gain from additional price cuts and expansion into developing markets while software sales and development are still quite healthy. The PS3 is in far better shape than the PSP circa 2011 so I think it is a pretty safe bet that LTD unit sales will exceed 95 million.

You realize NES was supported for over 20yrs and SNES well over 10 or 15 or somethign similar. Plus each portable has been easily as long as an PS console. You clearly have selective memory.
PS3 is not making it to 95m.

How are the NES and SNES sales trejectories relevant to the PS3 in any way, shape or form? You clearly are grasping at straws. Boy, don't we all remember all of those great Nintendo games that were released for the Wii in 2012 like Mario Party 9, Kirby's Dream Collection and um... You clearly haven't been spending your time on this site observing sales trends or the strategies employed by either Sony or Nintendo.
