It's impressive but at the same time I think it also shows why so many developers and publishers have been in trouble this gen financially. Sales are consentrating to few big ips compared to last gen when sales were more evenly distributed.
that's interesting... on the other hand, I don't think the Xbox360 will ever sell more software in total than the PS2 did.

Classic.
My prediction threads:
Wii U will sell under 40m units (made on 14th September 2012)
PS Vita will sell under 20m units (made on 30th September 2012)
Wii U will sell under 7m in 2013 - I was right

Yeah, not a snowballs chance in hell of that happening.

Also to come next week COD BLOPS2 , and later next year or year after Halo 4
Is there a chance Halo Reach might reach it? I also hope Halo 4 can reach 10 million around next year.

The gap is too big for any hardware or portable to reach the PS2 software numbers this generations (even DS or Wii) but PS3 + Wii + 360 already outsold PS2 + GC + XBOX.
Congrats2u 360. 2 more to come in the near future as well I would imagine.
Surprisingly, even PS3 is going to pass PS2's number of 10 million sellers at some point next year too I would think. Just goes to show that number of consoles sold doesn't necessarily mean anything in terms of big software hits.
edit: And jeez, didn't realise what a fucking juggernaut San Andreas PS2 was D:

GTA was there 3 out of the 6 years of PS2's life and didn't spend any time 'ramping up' to a 10 million seller like CoD did.
