Hmm, "a good start with a slow decline", "not the next PS2", "probably won't beat the PS1", "many have overstimated it", "won't have a 20 million selling calendar year".

Yes, clearly, that's what I'm saying in here. Drop. Like. A. Rock.

Well... its 4th year looks to be stronger than its 3rd.

It sold 53,4m in 3years.

Pretty sure next year it ll do 18-18.5m.  (end of next year it will be around 72m sold)

Its hard to say what happends in 2018,2019,2020, before the Playstation 5 launches, however ".Drop. Like. A. Rock." isnt what I expect.

It depends on what sales look like if Sony can sell it at 149$, I guess? stilll I can see it doing 110m+ lifetime, unless something goes wrong.

Sarcasm is hard on the internet...

I don't expect it to drop like a rock and I never suggested as much, but this user seems to have somehow conjured up that opinion on my behalf.

That said; when the next generation starts, I expect a really sharp decline in hardware sales, certainly a lot more abrubt that the PS3 and Xbox 360.
