The theoretical maximum for the PS3 shipment is 90.2M (as of Dec 2014). This is true if you believe the PS2 shipped 0 units during FY12 (Apr 12 - Mar 13 total of 16.5M). Likewise, the theoretical minimum for the PS3 is 73.7M as of December 2014. This is true if you believe the PS2 shipped 16.5M during FY12.
For fun, the theoretical maximum for the 360 shipment is 95.4M (as of Mar 2015). This is true if you believe the Xbone shipped 0 units during FY14 Q4 and FY15 (total 11.7M). Likewise, the theoretical minimum for the 360 is 83.7M as of March 2015. This is true if you believe the Xbone shipped 11.7M during that time period.
The reason I post these numbers is so that people know what they are working with when estimating something. It's unlikely either one of these systems will reach 100M. I had predicted the PS3 would, but I also expected the price of the machine to be $149 right now, at the most, with a price drop to $129 next year and $99 the year after. I can't believe how expensive these systems still are.
