After 8.5 Months (including initial launch demand) the PS3 has sold less than 4 Million consoles worldwide. Sony has 7 Million systems to sell in 8 months to have sold 11 Million consoles by March 2008; we will ignore their projection of 11 Million consoles sold from March 07 to March 08. If we assume that they sell 3 Million consoles in November and December 07 that still leaves sony with 4 Million consoles to sell in 6 months, or approximately 666,666 consoles every month; being that Sony is currently selling close to 250,000 consoles every month I don't see how this is possible.

At best Sony will have 9 Million consoles sold to end users as of March 31st 2008

 

 Sony will sell 8.5million-9.5million by the end 07(these sales to CONSUMERS not RETAILERS).Then with MGS4 for an early 08 release which means Jan/Feb/Mar will boost sales to about 10.5million-11.5million so 11million by end of Fiscal Year is quite possible
