Gets better.  43.5m by end of 2008 (2015 for PS4)

Reality checks all round.  No more records will be broken.

 

And at the end of the day it still didn't come close to the PS2. I mean I know that a lot of people like to point out that the PS4 beat the Wiis launch and all that stuff, but I think that really doesn't matter. The Wii sold incredibly fast, reaching 80% of its sales in 4 years, that is something I don't think the PS4 will do, so it's really not important that the Wii sold at a faster rate at this point in its life as long as the PS4 lives longer.


Exactly.  Neither will the PS4.

The leader of this gen will be every bit as front loaded imo.  The world is a different place.  All 3 consoles will be officially available globally within the first 12 months.  That has NEVER happened before.

Legs of consoles will shrink as gens pass, not lengthen.  You only have to look at the Wii, 360 and PS3 as evidence.

PS3 had (read: is having) long legs.  Every Playstation has long legs.



not even down to $200 yet for such an old system.  PS3 caught up with 360 and passed it because of legs.  PS2 sold 33% of its total after launch of its successor (it was way less than $200).  Even if PS3 only sells 20% of its total post PS4 launch it will still reach 100m.  That's a drop off because of the longer gen but once it gets down to $150 there'll be no stopping it.  I'm not counting the 12gb as getting down to $200 yet either.  They need a price drop of $170 for the 12gb, $200 for the 250gb, and $250 for the 500gb.  Holidays still to go this year with some tremendous deals and it gets a good boost.

what!?

lol

the 360 has been out longer and has shown better legs... did you look at the graph.  The 360 sold almost 3m more in its year 8 than the Ps3 did.

 

one year more without next gen consoles to steal its thunder of course
