Is last gen also your opinion? Because it was actually like this:

Wii 101.23 mill
x360 84 mill
PS3 82.3 mill

(source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_million-selling_game_consoles)

PS3 never sold 227, not even PS2 (the best selling console ever) with its 155+ million.

Million selling games dude, not consoles. PS2 had like 350 million sellers.

I think that PS4 will sell 350 million sellers incl. digital, retail only 250-300.

Why so few? PS3 got well over 200.

wow really? Yeah I would say PS4 will reach 250m then. It's selling faster so there'll be more early in the gen as we've seen and of course it will have those traditional Playstation legs along with possible BC on next gen

You have to consider though that the PS3 had a lot of third party games based on movies and really bad games which sold over 1 million. I don't see that happening this generation. Games such as the Lego series will not be million sellers this generation.

Why not? What makes this different?

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

The gaming landscape has dramatically changed. "AAA" titles are sometimes finding it really hard to achieve a million game sales.

A lot.

I'm more interested in seeing how many games will sell 1 million+ digitally.

Why? You do know that the wii U currently only has 8 million sellers. The Wii U only has like two games next year which can break 1 million. There may be another three Nintendo exclusives after 2015 which manage to sell 1 million. This gives the Wii U 13 million sellers. The other 5 million sellers could come from third parties and some games which keep on selling throughout its lifetime. Seems perfectly fine to me.

"The Wii U only has like two games next year which can break 1 million. "

WHAT??? using the word "can", I'd say Xenoblade,mario party 10, splatoon, mario maker and yoshi CAN/probably will reach 1 million. Meanwhile, Zelda and star fox WILL reach 1 million. and there are more 2015/2016/2017 unknown releases from both nintendo and third parties that can easily do it.

Also, from current titles, donkey kong, lego city, pikmin 3, zombi u, hyrule warriors and bayonetta 2 should all reach 1 million.
