Nothing will have PS2 legs. At least not in terms of total numbers. Now percentagewise is another story.

PS2 was arround 100 million end of 2005, not 100% sure but i think around 120 million end of 2006. Ended at 30% more sales within six more years.
Now PS3 has sold something like 3.8 million units in 2014.
2m+ in 2015 seem very possible.

So, percentagewise and with the far higher price than PS2 had back then the PS3 actually does very well. I wouldnt expect it to have a live as long as PS2's though.

In this case, stop Hope in PS3 above Wii lifetime.

That is unrealistic as long as Sony goes for maximum profit. I think some people are expecting to much. 90m+ seem very likely though.

Going for profitable hardware as long as possible is a smart move though. PS3 software market is already second hand for a very big portion. And the second hand part will grow. That way you keep the profits higher as with cheap hardware, at least at this point.
