True and the market has changed.

I will give you example why I think why it is possible.

When I was in China years ago no one could afford or almost nobody could buy an console.
Last summer I was walking in China and I was suprised to see people walking with a PSP (that in my opinion is expensive).

I just want to say that countries like China, India have a gaming market that is growing a lot.

I would not be surprised that around 2012 more than 300 million next gen consoles are sold= Wii, X360, PS3.


These markets have a high piracy rate (nearly no games are purchased) though and the PS3 will take a long time until it is affordable for Sony to sell it at $100 or less (realistically I don't think it's possible to reach high market penetration at a higher price point) in these markets.

True about that but they will probably have to buy the PS3 because making a PS3 is more expensive than 
Buying one. True that it haves a high piracy rate with games but that is dropping last summer I could find games
in stores and it were PSP games that are easy to play with a Piracy thing. 

Do you see any chance that the PS3 will reach PS2 levels without the markets of India (PS3 launched there already as far as I know) and China? What would Sony have to do to achieve such high sales?

A small chance around 5%. And I am not sure the PS3 is launched in India I thought X360 did already but not sure about PS3.
