19 million sales on older consoles? Doubtful.

 

Sony sold 40 million PS2s after the PS3 launch.

PS3 and 360 together should be able to sell at least half of that... All it takes is a long overdue price cut.

PS2 was also much cheaper than the current consoles, and was the most appealing console of all time.

It's certainly possible, but unlikely over the next 2-3 years, which is what you said. PS2 took 7 years to reach 40 million extra units.
