Some people really don't see that there are only 2 consoles ever to reach 100 million units. Hell even Wii will have a hard time reaching these kind of numbers.

Let's say Wii will have sold 43 million consoles end 2008. That's with 3 holiday periods, and then it'isn't even halfway. It has to maintain current sales levels for at least another year, so it can be at 65 million after 4 holiday periods.
Then it still has to sell 35 million. Doable, but definitely not a piece of cake.

PS3 will be at something like 22 million units end 2008 after 3 holiday periods. Let's assume it has a Wii-like year in 2009 and 2010 (which is imo totally out of the question) then it's only at about 65 million units after 5 holiday periods.
After 5 holiday periods it's absolutely impossible to sell another 35 million units, because it's quite certain that a new generation will be in sight by then.
