So the Xbox is next to be overtaken, then the N64, then the SNES, then the NES. Which it should do with ease. And the PS1 after those but I'm unsure about that one.

Do you realize the NES has shipped over 62 million? There's no way the PS3 will pass it "with ease", if at all.

 

Yes, I knew it was somewhere around the 60 million mark.

From the current data, it will with ease. The potential market has greatly expanded since NES times.

The PS3 sold 22M in 2.5 years out of a 10 years projected cycle and it still hasn't hit the price "comfort zone" where sales pick up for all consoles. The 360 will also pass that post unless its life is cut short for some reason.

The sig is supposed to be mocking one of Sony's PR statements, how could you possibly not get that?

Is it something everyone is supposed to know? I never heard of it.

I take it your prediction was sarcasm too, then?

No. ^Read WereKitten's reply to you, it's pretty much what I would have said.

Passing the PS one is a bit to optimistic. The NES must be possible. In 2 years and a few months they did +20 million so if the PS3 will be on the market for 6 years atleast is must pass 60 million.

Next up: Xbox (24m), then Sega Megadrive/Genesi(31m), and Nintendo 64 (33m).

It will be interesting to see if the PS3 can beat the SNES (49 million).

I think that's the best it could ever hope for.

People can't just assume the market will support the PS3 for 10 years just because Sony says so.  Sony saying it will be around for 10 years is just speculation, they don't determine that at all.  If/when PS3 numbers ever become seriously unhealthy, they'll pull the plug.
