It's marketing speak, Sony has done similar before

10m for the PS3 would already be on the high end. Didn't it only sell around 11m in calendar year 2012? It's bound to be down.

6m for the PS4. Only one system in history has managed to get to that number in a five month period, so that's a high end prediction too.

16m are only "possible and easy" after 16 beer.

It shipped confirmed 8 million before the Holiday period in calendar year 2012... for Fiscal year if the shipped was close to 77 million then Sony shipped close to 13 million in this fiscal year.

6 million for PS4 with Europe release? Even PS3 have shipped that if Europe is not delayed to March.... it shipped 3.5 million for NA and Japan only.

Edit - Fixed the numbers.

For reference the official shipped data for PS3:

December 31, 2011: 62m
March 31, 2012: 63.9m
November 4, 2012: 70m

I think people is underestimating PS3 and PS4 sales (with a WW release).

The PS3 is going to be down at least 20 percent year over year with a successor on the market, so 10m sounds more realistic than 11-12m.

Sony shipped 3.6m PS3s by March 31st, 2007. This includes the European launch (March 23rd).

One week Europe launch... not five months like US and JP... if you got the shipped data for Europe for five months and add to NA and JP number you will see numbers close to 6 or 7 million but yeap Sony never showed shipped data per region .
