Well if anyone has spent any time in Crazzyman's PS2 to PS3 sales comparison thread, if you align regional launches of the PS2 and PS3, I'm pretty sure the PS3 is something like 5-6 million behind, with only EU similar to PS2.
This is a pretty optimistic projection from Sony. Even if BluRay is to be the saving grace of the PS3, by the time mainstream adoption of BluRay occurs there will be cheaper BluRay players than the PS3.
