Can The PlayStation 3 Still Break 100 Mill? Edit: OP is in 2nd comment

I see it selling for 6 to 7 years more. Sony usually follows a pattern of discontinuing a console a little before the sucessor of its sucessor launches

I'm counting on the rise of emergent markets too and that includes the opening of the Chinese videogame market.

Markets/consumers decide how long a console stays on the market.  Sony was able to keep the PS and PS2 on the market long after the successor because the market still had a large demand for them.  The PS3 doesn't have the demand those 2 did.  And it won't sell for another 6-7 years.  The PS4 is too well priced and well received for PS3 to have demand for that many more years.

As for China, don't put any bets on it.  They are very mobile centric and the rules still applied toward consoles are incredibly restrictive.   Sony are better off trying to get the PS4 going there than the PS3.

Can it hit 100 million?  Maybe, but it's far from a sure thing.
