We know the PSP outshipped/sold the GBA. Sony did not mention it at all, so I agree that they wouldn't mention if the PS3 passed the 360.

I'm not sure they are done with last generation though. PS1 sold for 6 years after the PS2 came out and it sold an extra 30M units, PS2 sold for 6 1/2 years after the PS3 came out and an extra 50M+ units, PSP sold for 3 years after PSV came out an extra 9-10M units. PS3 is still $199 right now and PS4 is only one year old. Going by historical sales and adjusting for the longer generation that happened last time, I'd venture the PS3 for another 3-4+ years and will sell until at least FY 2017/18.

I think Sony is stepping on the balll by not having a final , $149 PS3 revision (dropped to $129 in 2016). There were rumors about a 28nm RSX/22nm Cell refresh that would be coming this year. A Wii sized, 32GB internal storage with an external power brick would sell well for the budget conscious consumer and PSNow already uses modified PS3s with 28nm RSX/22nm Cells so all they would need is a casing. PS3 passing 100M is completely dependent on Sony doing the aforementioned IMO and time is ticking, they would have to have such a final version by Fall 2015 at the very latest. If they don't, I expect PS3 and 360 to finish around 90M+, with PS3 ahead by a couple of mil for an irrelevant 2nd place "victory".
