Latin America is a huge market but again, your not going to sell 5 million PS2s in 6 months. Even if its 500 million, 700 million, 1 billion or whatever number of people, you have maybe 50 million who are wealthy enough and educated enough to want a videogame console, and they aren't going to buy 5 million consoles in six months. Just look at the USA or Japan - two areas in love with videogames - and with a wide net of wealthy enough people - and they rarely ever buy 5 million consoles in six months.

The population of South America is 371,000,000

Yes, and the population of India is 1,300,000,000 yet you don't see ginormous sales there.

Somehow the Wii had to get brought in here.

Anyhoo.

It's entirely possible that with ten years it could do 150 million. They'd have to keep pace with at least 15 million for the next few years, with a couple approaching twenty.

Not entirely unlikely, seeing as that Sony does believe in the whole 10 year lifespan thing (look @ the PS2). A lower price point would do wonders.

Nintendo also said the GC would live 10 years. Look what happened.

Personally I think Sony REALLY needs to shut up about the 10 year thing. The PS3 isn't going to last that long, sorry. The PS2 is barely selling now and it's on its 9th year. Do they really think the PS3 will have a shot then when the Wii is goign to be the #1 console and the 360 is eating up PS3 exclusives anyway?

Arrogancy isn't going to get them anywhere.

The PS1 sold for ten years.

The PS2 is in it's eight year, and still doing extremely well, (almost beat the 360 Ww this week), and the PS3 will do the same. I don't see how that's hard to believe.

Notice something different about PS1 & PS2 to the PS3? Like, sales? demographic? exclusives?

playstation 3 will sell more than ps2 in its lifetime.

once the further adoption of HD tv sets, a PS3 will be a very attractive console for the consumer market

the lineup of games this fall for ps3 is staggering, and 2009 2010 and beyond it will only get better.

with little big planet, motor storm 2(check psn video = AWSOME), resistance 2, socom and many other avalaunch titles 2008 is truly the year of the ps3.

i predict 2009 playstation 3 games to be a towering inferno above the 2008 releases, its gonna get that good, with heavy ran, mag, god of war 3, killzone 2, just to name a few

in my opinion as time goes along and developers truly get the best out of the ps3, ps3 will have the best games.

the playstation 3 is akin to a raging tiger in my opinion

year 1: it finds its teeth
year 2: it stretches its claws
year 3: it goes in for the kill
year 4: it tactifies itself for terrotorial gain
year 5: it looks back and sticks 2 fingers up
year 6: it will surge ahead and beyond.

in my opinion the playstation 3 is the best value for money product out there.

PS3 gives you the option of purchasing bluray films for you to keep in your collection, and it also gives you the option of getting movies by VOD. only the ps3 can you find this option

all ps3`s come with hard drive as standard and can easily be upgraded to suit your own tatses. i recently bought a brand new hard drive a 60gig sata drive for lol £20 + £1.50 delivery imo that is an absolute bargain and this option is only availible in ps3, you can now buy 80gig for £29.99, 120gig for £37.99 the list is endless.

playstation 3 has all the media functionality you could want including direct to print, printing functions

with the upcoming HOME network which i predict will be a staggeringly huge sucess 2008 is really a great year for gaming. and guess what this is the big one. HOME will be free for you to use when ever you want, including features such as your own room space, mini games space(free) lots of locations movies, music you name it. HOME is where t be at in 2008, only availiable on ps3 only.

playstation 3 offers free online gaming, with many many superb titles using dedicated severs at no extra cost. playstation 3 also supprts a very slick interface which is the easiest interface to navigate aroung, including the best designed PSN store.

PSN store features the highest quality games at the most highest value for money prices, ie very cheap.

playstation 3 also lets you customise and download new themes to suit your own tastes FOR FREE, you do not need to pay for these extras.

talking about extras. playstation 3 is THE ONLY CONSOLE that gives you both built-in wireless conectivity and free controller plug and charge kit together in one go. and to boot ps3 features butooth support. including keyboard headset and bluray remote.

playstation 3 also amazingly enough has the processing power with the CELL to help calculate remedies for ailmets by collaborating with the now world famous folding home project.

in fact the CELL in my opinion makes mount Etna look like a pot noodle gone wrong!

after a shaky start ps3 is beging to find its stride, its surely the must have consumer product for this year and beyond. imo ps3 will have a collosus xmas 2008. I WILL GUARENTE PS3 WILL HAVE A MASSIVE XMAS 2008

stunning games will release on standalone bluray and psn download titles. this trend will be a continuous trend over the life of the ps3, playstation 3 is the only console which wont be dropped after 5 years. its future proof and will provide many many hours of high defintion digital entertainment for all the family

SONY ENTERTAINMENT games publishing is the best in the world, the hurricane of games that will come out over the next few years will suprise everyone, featuring the best grafix and best sound.

playstation 3 is the only console that features a FREE built in browser, ideal to check youtube game reviews etc and also recently ive began using it for vgchartz. if its free you cant beat it.

i know many users on vgchartz are fidgiting about, biting thier nails etc thinking about what console to buy this fall, the choice is simple and can be summed up as thus. "playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming acceleration"

it provides the best gaming choices, the best movie choices and the best audio choices, heck the ps3 on ferrari challnge makes my makeshift 8.2 system vibrate the ashtray on my coffee table, who needs dualShock3 when you can have room-rumble.

playstation 3 is by far THE MOST SPECTACULAR ENTERTAINMENT DEVICE EVER RELEASED at only $399 and £299 you would be mad to miss out.

im sorry sega, but im afraid the playstation 3 has overtaken the dreamcast as my fave of all time console.

i hope many of you get a playstation 3 this fall

AND YOU WILL DAMN ENJOY YOUR PURCHASE

so to sum it all up, i agree with the topic set by the OP

I PREDICT PS3 TO BE MORE POPULAR THAN PS2

I PREDICT PS3 TO START TURNING UP THE VOLUME

I PREDICT PS3 TO HAVE A PRICE CUT NEXT YEAR TO £249 WITH A GAME, AND 2 BLURAY MOVIES AND 2 CONTROLLERS.

quick edit. anything can happen in gaming lol

...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Exactly. Difference.

Who's to say what's on the horizion in a few years?

The thing is that no one can predict the future. Price drops, maybe Sony will get agressive with the Third-Party exclusives, maybe MS will bow out of the console race, who knows?! It's so far off into the future. All we can do is go on track record, which is that Sony supports it's consoles for ten years, and they will likely do the same for this. Even if they only do release multi-plat games on it, it will be around for the full ten years, and at a lower price point, it's entirely possible.
