Neither are doing it and were never going to. Some silly predictions of longevity have prevailed here over the last few years.


Quite. I think you're one of the few, along with myself, that believed the 7th gen would crash as fast and hard as it currently is.

The PS3 and 360 will be hard pressed to sell much more than 20 million more between them, in my opinion. The PS3 would need to maintain a course not too far behind the PS2 in longevity and market presence in order to reach 100 million since the weekly numbers are plummeting so badly, it could fall below 2.5 million next year at this rate and would need another decade or so to reach 100 million. This simply won't happen with it continuing on the 60-70% down yoy path, there's just no way.

The market has changed a lot in later years and the PS3 will never become a PS2 and extend its life 5-6 years or more into the next generation.
