Can't believe people are even contemplating that this may be possible

Maybe 16million between the Vita, PS3 and PS4?

That makes far more sense. Unless Sony is planning some sort of really low price blitz, 16 million is a recipe for flop buzz setting in, if there end up with a lot in stock. Depending on price, they can't move. Or Sony could end up eating a large loss.

With out some crazy subsidized plan I don't see it. It must be combine figures like they have been doing in the past few years.

They're obviously combining PS3 + PS4. I'd say it's possible, but maybe a little too ambitious.

No, no... 16m for 2013 as in its first few months and they specified annual as oppose to fiscal.

Not possible.

Reading the article again "In order for Sony to sell 16 million PlayStation 4 units by the end of March 2014"... ops... fiscal year .

And I agree... impossible.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Impossible.

2.5 million for Nov-Dec 2013 + 1.5 million for Jan-March 2014 is more realistic.

PS3 shipped 3.5 million with strong supply issues without Europe...

These 2.5m + 1.5m is more inline with a release withou Europe... with Europe my 7 million is high probable.

Somehow I doubt that AMD could keep up with that type of demand anyway. (let alone the system building factories)
