Will Sony ever surpass Nintendo's total hardware shipment?

The only reason they haven't already is because Nintendo had handhelds and consoles selling from 94-05 before Sony got into that market. With them both selling one now I could see Sony making up 50m+ per gen if not more.

So that would take about 4 more generations (200 million gap at 50 million per generation).   Given a generation now lasts 6-7 years, you are looking at 24-28 years.  Do you really think we'll even have consoles as we know them at that point?

things move a lot slower than we think and the edges erode faster so Nintendo will disappear from consoles before Sony.
