80 percent of ps2 sales came after the slim model so that means 80% of 100million=80 million

  that leaves ps3 with 20 million and thats about what it has now...so that means ps3 will sell at least 80 million more!

and the ps3 sold over 20 million!

the 360 however will sell one more according to micrsoft ;)

i meant 100 million minus 80 percent because it will get 80 percent of its sales after slim

I can't see that happening.

very presumptuous. The Ps3 certainly ain't the PS2.

If this 10 year lifecycle thing goes to plan, that's over 70 million over the next 7 years. Eh, maybe.

If it reaches 50 million and sells 500 million BD games it will be much, 100 million is way too much now.

PS2 slim released in September 2004 if i'm not mistaken.

Sales of PS2 at that time.

52 million.

current sales.

132 million

total sales of ps2 slim.

80 million

percentage: 60%.

So PS3's current total, 23 million, would give a lifetime total of 57.5 million.

PS3 sales compared to PS2 sales at same point in life.

Ps2: 37 million

PS3: 23 million

% of sales = 62%

if it maintains this for a 10 year life like ps2.


PS3 end total: 81.84 million.

It's possible, I would peg it at 70-80 million.

The ps2 had no competition- the ps3 has a twin and the wii to compete with. Sales will be boosted sure, but the 100m mark is just aiming too high under these circumstances.

Dude, as so many have already stated, the PS3 is no PS2.
