You know what annoys me? The fact that only about 5% of the polls I see have an answer I actually want. Either it's just not there or the OP throws in some retarded bit that makes me not want to click it.

The answer is neither. The only way the PS4 could reach that is if the Xbone failed more miserably than anyone could have expected and nearly everyone switched to Sony. And people who think any last-gen console will sell that much more just lacks the ability to do math and use reason.

PS3 because it is selling well, still going to receive a fair amount of games, and it almost sold as many as PS4 did over the holiday and is only tracking less than 20,000 on Jan 4 2014.

neither right now from where i am looking

I can't picture Ps3 reaching the 100 million mark, but I can see it passing the 90 million mark.

PS3 launched late 2006. Since 2007-2011 the PS2 managed to sell 49.5m units, approximately 30% of its total sales.

The PS3 needs less than 18m units and only 25% of what its already sold to get past 100m. I think it will get there and beat the wii. I hope it does because thats the whole point of my sig.

Theres no way PS4 is getting another 95m sales faster than ps3 gets 18m more sales.

PS3 first. It will finish 2014 around 90M and PS4 will be at 17-20M. I see PS3 reaching 100M at 2016. People say it won't reach 100M, but they forgot PS2 was at less than 110M when PS3 and Wii reached the market and it finished at 160M. PS1 sold almost 30M units of the redesigned PSOne model launched in 2000.

PS consoles usually sell around 1/3 of their lifetime sales when its sucessor is already out. People really believe it won't sell more than 10M? That may even be true for USA/EU/JPN markets, where the new consoles are relativelly cheap. But on emergent markets, they are expensive as hell and lots of people will still buy the older consoles. Even 110-120M (105-110M more likely) for PS3 is a possibility when it gets discontinued (probably 2019-2020). If someone still believe it won't reach 100M, I'm even willing to make a bet, it will be an easy win anyway...

I'll take the bet. I'm a patient man.

We willl have to be really patient. I propose the following: I will bet that PS3 will pass 100M lifetime sales, you bet that it won't. The limit will be PS3 discontinuation date, with the bet ending earlier if PS3 hits 100M before being discontinued, according VGC data (waiting for adjustments, of course).

The loser will have to add the following to his sig (I think the loser can keep his sig, just add that first): "I said PS3 would/wouldn't reach 100M lifetime sales and I was wrong", just a light thing, let's say 1 month. What do you think?

If PS3 hits 100M, it will take more than a few years. I think that they will be approaching that number around the same time, though I don't think that PS3 will ever get there. And I feel that PS4 definitely will.

If I'm wrong and PS3 hits 100M, PS4 will have already done it first.
