Why would Sony announced passing 360? It would be a hollow victory.

They would announce something if they passed up WiiU or if they hit a 10M milestone like 90M.

Exactly.  We are into next gen, anyway.  They MIGHT say something when the PS3 is pulled off shelves, but other than that, they are done with last gen.  Kinda funny to see some people that need to hang onto the 360 remaining in 2nd.

What about the Ps3 will be supported for 4 or more year after the Ps4 comes out talk?
Right now i think the X360 will last longer than Ps3

And to show support and confidence in ur last gen console, u should say something about further sales
But the Ps4 is just to good and cheap for this to happen. I don't see a 99$ Ps3. And if that won't happen, the Ps3 will not reach 100m for sure. Maybe not even 90m
But i know i should wait for this quarter Ps3 shipped figures, before doing such a statement :D

The 360 will be pulled quite a bit before the PS3 is.  The 360 is still doing decently in the UK, ok in the US, but everywhere else it is basically dead.  The PS3 is doing meh-ok in those two regions, but is still doing ok outside of them.  As far as future sales go, the PS3 is fine.  For the period of April-June '14, MS shipped 1.1M 360s AND XBOs combined.  On the other hand, Sony shipped 800K PS3s (and 2.7M PS4s.)  So, yea, it's obvious which one is selling more and will have the best staying power.


Look at the legs of Ps1 and Ps2
Frist year sales after successor still  15m sales
Second year sales after successor still 10m sales

No we got:
First year 7.1m
Second year below 4.5 for sure

That's what i'm talking about.
And i'm not sure if the Ps3 is still doing okay outside of the US and UK. At least not in mainland Europe, where people prefer to buy a Ps4 for 349€ instead of 199€ - 249€ for a Ps3.
I really would like some actual sales figures for Ps3 hardware. Sadly we only got US numbers.
But as i said before. We have to wait for this quarter shipped numbers to know where this is going.
