wow, there is actually an "official" thread about this? Congrats on finally crossing the finish line ps3; now maybe wii60 will let you play with them, as long as you stop talking about "the good old days".

 Actually, the next target would be 30M, unless you expect the X360 to sell less than 2M while the Ps3 sells 10M. :P

 

We know the Wii is doing well! You don't have to remind people in every single thread.

Was the trolling necessary?

Good job, Oy, you made first 20mil performance comparison easier.

Absolute PS3 performance sits between PSOne and PS2, so not bad at all, but we must consider that now it has to cope with Wii's incredible performance and XB360 early launch, so, while staying on the market all the 10 years planned, end of life 100+million units sold goal won't be out of reach, it will need all Sony's commitment.

If MS has a 7 years plan, exceeding XB360 sales during the 4 years after its retirement, in case it's not possible before, wouldn't be either a dishonour or a bad thing, particularly considering that on top of SW profits, the last console's years give the higher profit margin on HW. And this, letting it think Sony is less dangerous, would make MS concentrate its aggressiveness against Nintendo, so Sony would have more room and quiet to make with PS4 an unexpected comeback just like Nintendo did with Wii.
