.8 in 1 months is not bad..... Now lets look here..
lets say it keeps this track til October.....that 4 million... now add a possible 5-6 during the Holiday season.....9-10 million. Now add 1 million cuz of FFXIII releasing in Japan...10.4-11.4 million by the end of this year.

If either FFXIII, God of War3 or GT5 releases before the end of February ( or a combination of some kind) then Sony's in the clear...

 

Update: just realized it's a month not 2 .

It's 0.8 million in 2 months, not one. April and May. If by holiday season you mean November - December, the PS3 sold 2.9 million in 2008, and 3.3 million in 2007 (right after a price cut).

So let's say 0.4m * 7 = 2.8m (pre-holiday) 
5-6 million for the holiday (which would be great)

That takes it to 8.8 million by the end of 2009. It certainly won't sell an additional 4.2 million in the first three months of 2010. That's why I say it won't hit 13 million with a late price cut.
