I was always saying no,so no again!It dropped by 60% from 2013 to 2014(7.1m->3.1m) almost what I had predicted back in June 2014 when I came here and some mocked me!
2015 might be worse or the drop will be somewhat smaller,like 40-50%,we already see it in Japan!

Units shipped total is between 86.5-87.5m,as of March 31th 2015,FYQ4 shipments were down from 700k of last FY to 400k,so going by this thrend,shipments for FY15 will be 1.5-2m,putting ps3 to 88m-89.5 units shipped(as of March 2016)it would need by then 11.5-12m shipments to reach the 100m milestone,this is impossible because there is no time and room for further growth,ps1 had 10 years LT and ps2 11 year LT,ergo ps3 will be discontinued either 2016 or 2017,ps4 success kills the legs of it(as I expected),people focus on new gen and developers are starting to abandon last gen!
Let me note what I recently saw and puzzled,sony's sales forecast for FY15 doesn't include ps3(and psv).This must mean something....

As for the price drop,sony is in recovery phase and must be reluctant(or unable) to take a loss to push a console that is near to its end,and ps3 price has already gone too much low,there is no margin for extra price drops,I think!
