Woo Hoo!!! Not bad considering it was supposed to be the next dreamcast.

I thought the Wii was the next Dreamcast

Also, not really a MASSIVE milestone, we saw it coming for some time. When it passes the GBA then I'll be impressed.

I have to wonder where this gen will stop! DS will end 1st, that's a given. Wii will likely end up 3rd, behind DS and PS2. The PSP MAY end up 5th, but looking at WW sales it looks unlikely...

I think 360 and PS3 will end up 6th and 7th, but in which order? Heck, this gen has been full of surprises, who's to say they can't go even higher!

I think PS3 will finish with lifetime sales higher than PSone in the end.

It will be 62-65M at end of this year, 2012 should increase it to 75 and then few milions for next few years when it replaces PS2 as entry level console in poor countries.

The relatively small presence of the SNES in EMEAA has always surprised me. Nintendo did not really make headway in Europe until about 5 years ago.

EMEAA was PC land; the ZX Spectrum, Commodore, Atari, etc. were the dominant plataforms there until Playstation came pushing the console market.

Sega actually did very well in the genesis era for EMEAA, Nintendo were the one that didn't push the region. The lack of support = indifferent consumer base.


That is what I wanted to say =p.    Nintendo in USA = Sega in Europe well atleast for one Generation.

Considering the high launch price, lackluster launch lineup, the PS3 is really starting to shine.  

Congrats Sony,  now on to the next milestone!

Yes, next year maybe 72-75mil, but then the next gen begins. I don't see it selling like the PS2 did after its death personally...

Wii at 128-135, PS3 at 85-95 and 360 at 80-95 IMO

i agree with the wii. but i think the PS3 and 360 has a chance of breaking into the 100 million club.

do you think its possible?

Sony failed again, when the snes launched the world population was almost 2billion less then what it is right now, the snes would be at 68million if we count world inflation :P, ps3 still loose



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

I think it's possible, yes. It's just not incredibly likely.

It all comes down to whe the next gen comes out, and how low Sony/Microsoft are willing to cut the price/support the consoles...

If they do it'll only just reach it, may not even beat the PS1...
