Maybe Sony weren't kidding around when they predicted the PS2 would have a ten-year lifespan. Business Week have been crunching numbers (and speaking to Michael Pachter!), and have come away with the conclusion that in 2007, the PS2 will outsell the PS3.
The PS2 already owns the industry's all-time sales record. As of last March, Sony had shipped more than 103 million units worldwide. In the year ending in March, 2007, Sony expects to sell an additional 11 million—and just 6 million PS3s. In the following year, Sony will likely ship another 11 million PS2s vs. 7 million PS3s, according to research by rating agency Standard & Poor's (MHP).
It's cheap, it's trusted, it's in over 100,000,000 homes, has an enormous library of classic titles and has a few AAA games left in it yet. You won't find four of those five with a PS3, so those guesstimates might just hold some water.
