PS2 shipped around 118m in fiscal year ending march 2007 (official numbers), so i suppose around 110-115m when PS3 launched. So if PS2 shipped around 160m in the end, Sony shipped around 50-45m PS2 along PS3....So there you have it.

Thank you!
So halving PS2's post PS3 sales gives us 22-25 Million
So PS3 would have to be selling at half the rate of the PS2
Anyway this gets harder for PS3 as it had a longer lifecycle & the PS4 is beating PS3 out of the gate (which is a reversal of PS3's launch where the PS2 still outsold it for a year).
On the other hand the PS3 still has the magic $99 to drop to...

It will be very difficult indeed, in fact PS2 sold in fiscal year 2007 (april 2007-march 2008) 13'7m, in fiscal year 2008 7'9m, in fiscal year 2009 7'3m, in 2010 6'4, and in 2011 4'1m.
If PS3 have 5 more years of shipments, it needs an average of around 4m per year. I'm still positive PS3 will do it around end 2018-2019. And if Sony is aggresive and drop the price like you say, maybe it will reach faster the 100m sales.
