I hope this is going to be the very first Xbox gen to cross 100M barier. It certainly has a potential to do so.
Current sales are on par with 3DS and suggest lifetime sales between 70 - 80M.
But at the same time, sales are trending higher than the 360 which hit 80m+, all consoles have different sales records, some start off good, some last longer, some finish stronger etc etc
