The PS2 sold 150 million in the first 30 days. And the PS4 is currently selling on all the hype in the world. (people wanted me to explain why I believe what I said in the OP)

Hmmm, it's not impossible that the whole console market does collapse, but I think it will take more than 3 years

Realistically, Sony's sales might be something like if we go by financial years, ie ending in March

Year 1: 5-6m
Year 2: 10-12m
Year 3: 12-14m

These are complete guesses and maybe on the high side, but anyway, that would lead to ~30m units sold. So basically the OP is suggesting that the PS4 won't sell 40m units ever.

No



PS2 did what now?

What? Get your numbers straight bro.

Then again, those banners on your sig tell the story.

What is wrong with u? This is ur third time posting this bullshit, PS2 did not sell 150m in 30 days. It took over 5 years for it to pass 100m and over 10 years to pass 150m.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Actually I think it's the other way around i.e. 70 % of PS4 sales will come AFTER 2-3 years. All previous PS consoles have shown they have this staying power because Sony support their consoles throughout their lifetime.



Wow if PS2 did 150 million in 1 month I wonder how much it did in 12 years.



Is this thread serious? Hard to sell 150 million PS2's in a month when it's impossible to manufacture that many.
