I think a lot of people saying it wont are shell shocked looking at just how well the PS3 has sold this year. The PS3 has already sold almost double what it did last year at this point, and I see no signs of it slowing down. 15 million total for the year seems pretty likely, unless someone else has reasons stating why this trend will suddenly fall off? |
For last year's financial year, Sony planned to ship 11 million PS3's*, but only shipped 9.24 million falling well short of their initial goal, and slighty short of their revised goal (9.5 million). For this year, they plan to ship 10 million (what I think is a conservative estimate). Do you really think they will beat their goal by 50%? I sure don't. I think 11.5 million is the max they could ship.
