The PS3 has just officially reached 70 million units sold, almost on par with the 360. With the Wii sales incredibly slowing down and the killer lineup of exclusives next year, will the PS3 have the most consoles sold out of all others from this gen. Heck, if the PS4 came out tomorrow, the PS3 would still sell at least 100 million units in its lifetime sales. 130 million units sold total is very likely if not almost certain. [spoiler] I took this from a N4G article comments section, almost the exact wording. They believe it is certain that PS3 will become the #1 best sold console and with 130 million units easily. I just want to see System Wars' thoughts on this. [/spoiler]

the ps3 should end up selling the most, i'm predicting around 100m-110m

It's the only console that i could see consumers buying after the 720 and PS4 and WIIU is released, it's a cheap 3d blu ray player with tons of games and free online

Depends on how long Sony supports it when the PS4 comes out. I think it could get to at least 90 million.

I kind of doubt it, but who knows? Wii isn't getting pulled any time soon, and MS has previously stated they'll keep selling the 360 for at least as long as Sony supports the PS3, and given their good momentum I see little reason to doubt them.

If the Lakers weren't completely stupid and hired Jackson instead of D'Antoni he would have gotten a 6th ring this year :P

Wouldn't have made a difference. They are old and injury prone and Howard is not a leader. Lebron gets his 2nd ring.

lol! Well yah, I totally agree their chemisty has most definitely been off -- so much, that it was kinda unfair to me that they even fired Mike Brown so quickly considering that. All I can do is hope they pull it together soon.

yea, im sure the best coach in the history of basketball would have made no difference at all. im sure d'antoni(who is an awful coach) will do just fine :roll: it doesn't matter anyways. since the thunder gave us harden for kevin martin and a bag of chips they basically handed queen james her 2nd ring.

Who cares? How does this effect your gaming experience? It doesn't. Just dumb fanboys pretending to be share holders.

It's possible. Given it has a 10 year life cycle and Sony seems to support it more than MS and the 360, the Wii is pretty much dead in the water at this point.

It only took the PS3 6 years just to match the Xbox360 and this coming of the back of the ubiquitous success of the PS2. I wouldn't be surprised if it does end up in last place when this generation ends.

I think it's the other way around. It's boring when you know the winner after the first year. I'm talking about the HD twins, though, sales wise, Wii won by a huge margin.

The Knicks are one of the best teams in the league right now, so that isn't really a knock against the Lakers. However, I think D'Antoni is very overrated. LA better hope his offense minded style works better for them than it did for NY.

And to stay on topic, yes, I think the PS3 could pass the Wii, and it damn sure will pass the 360, if it hasn't already.

With killer games on the horizon such as The Last of Us, God of War: Ascension, Beyond: Two Souls and GT6, I'd say yes, it will blow the 360 out of the water instantly. Hell, the 360 is last already.

It is possible. If it reaches 80-85million by end of next year, and the PS4 launches in 2014 then it has a chance of hitting 100. Depends how it sells in 2014 when the hype will be with the PS4.

The Wii sales are completely dead though, and the PS2 sold for quite a decent amount longer than the XBOX and Gamecube. With a price drop and if it is on the market for 2-3 years longer it could surpass the Wii.

This generation is over tomorrow. So... no!! With the PS4 coming out next year, I see a significant drop in PS3 sales after 2013. Especially if the economy stays as bad as it is. I'll be surprised if the PS3 hits 100 million.

It should edge past the PS1's 102 million so it depends how desperately the Wii clings to life.
