Just a question about all the 35+ Million predictions ...

Being that Sony sold (roughly) 10 Million systems in 2008 do you really think they would be willing/able to increase their manufacturing capacity to 16+ Million units per year in 2009?

 

If the demand is there then yes. they must have been making way more than that during the PS2's peak years. And if its 10 million for a $400 system then I don't think 15+ million for a $300 system is out of the question.

 

So, 3 months into their fiscal year they reduce the price of a console and begin work on doubling their production capacity on the assumption that they can sell all their units?

Beyond that, I'm not sure you can assume that Sony is on track to sell 10 Million PS3's in 2009 at a price of $400 ... According to this thread ( http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=58515 ) the PS3 is already tracking 15% below its 2008 numbers where it just broke 10 Million.
