I can't wait to come back to these threads in 6 - 7 years (if I remember) and read up on all these predictions of over 100m sales for the PS4 and when i see the 70-80 million number, I am going to laugh at you.
Let me put things into perspective. The Wii sold 100m world wide yes? People are saying the PS4 will be 100m+ worldwide because it is selling so well but if you look at the Wii, it was selling 2-3 times (sometimes even more than that) by this time than what the PS4 was and it did this for several years. And the Wii sold more than the PS4 did by this time. The numbers pretty much never made it below 150k a week until around summer/fall 3 years later and then it was STILL over 100k per week. Something that the PS4 is not doing right now and it probably won't do... ever. The PS4 sale surge is over. You are going to probably continue to get these numbers with them slowly declining over all over time with spikes here and there but it will NEVER get to 100m. The only way I can see it doing that is if they keep it going for an extra 3 or 4 years into the next generation and I doubt you will see them doing that otherwise it will be Sony being left behind next gen instead of Nintendo.

Just so you know, by February 2012, the Wii was still selling more than what the PS4 is now. If the Wii was crippled or died after 3 years of it's launch, what do you call the PS4 who is selling worse than a crippled or dying system 2 years after it was crippled or died?
