PS3 will reach 100 million from Europe alone. I don't know what you're thinking the PS4 is going to launch at, but it's not going to be cheap. Even with high fiscal targets for the system, PS3 will continue selling at a lower price. This will be done regardless of whether the PS4 has a good launch or not, as the system still has selling power.
Wait until you see the next fiscal target for the PS3. Even when PS4 is out later this year, and they're setting a fiscal target next year, it'll still be around 10 million. The system will hit 100 million 2-3 years from now comfortably. It's not going anywhere now since it's making some money.
The next gen hardware launches will kill any momentum current gen consoles have left (which isn't much). The only time this didn't happen was the PS2 and DS, and that's because they were both still juggernauts going into their successors launches. Neither the 360 or PS3 have that kind of momentum. The only reason they appear to be doing well is because everything else sans the 3DS is doing poorly. They look good by comparison, but neither are exactly flying off the shelves. Everything except the 3DS (by the skin of its teeth) is down YoY. Current gen has no selling power.
