I think it is kind of funny, that the Xbox360 is a competition to Sony without the japanese market. Microsoft is new in this business and is doing very well. 20.000.000 consoles sold just on two of three markets is good. I doubt the PS3 will reach 100 million units. I also doubt the PS3 will last 10 years. Anyway, this Generation is all about Nintendo. They dominate the software, the hardware and the handhelds.
My guess is that the 360 will reach 40 million consoles at the end. The PS3 like 50 million. The 10 million difference is the market in Japan. Wii will hit 80 - 90 million.
Sony will make money with the ps3 but this will take a lot of time.
another guess: The PS3 sales will be reduced as soon as there are other good bluray-player available.
Just some thoughts
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
