I must be misreading your post. I can't see how the Wii could push out 4M more, it debatable if it can even push 1 million more.

Well if not, it's a little easier to PS3 reach it then


Well if we're on the topic, I'll reply to your other post here too. I think you're a bit too generous with your numbers. In 2013 the 360 pushed 6.4 M units so the PS3 would more or less have to follow the same trend the 360 did last year. As of now that does not seem to be the case, with rough calculations the PS3 (2014) is at 1.7 M and the 360 (2013) is at 2.8 M, so unless the PS3 manages to have a stellar holiday season it will fall below 6 M.

I don't see how the PS3 could also survive another 5 years, that seems to be pushing it. 2015 will probably see the last bits of major support with maybe a few lingering ones in 2016 but after that the console will probably only be home to small budget devs, which I question a little considering that the PS4 is a much more friendly platform for those type of games. Even in developing markets which historically helped the PS2, I think the PS4 will once again steal the spotlight from the PS3. It's not that much more expensive than the PS3 (well except for some places...), has a bright future and is relatively cheap to produce compared to the PS3 and it's Cell.

tl;dr version the PS4 is the PS3's worst enemy in this situation.
