no the PS3 target is realistic if the PS3 Slim is true
PSP target is completely unrealistic, & that was set in stone the moment they announced PSP GO! would be for $250 |
Did you read this thread?

If the PS3 slim / price cut come in the holidays then PS3 sales will have to increase by a huge amount from last year... I haven't calculated but maybe 60-80%.

looks difficult then.
But if GOW3 & GT5 make it in March 2010 (as they are rumored to) I think 13 Million shouldn't be hard. (I mean they will get close, something like 12.8 Million shipped & probably 12.1 Million sold)
Slim in holidays with $399 price
GT5 will take care of the rest by the time march ends (their financial year ends at the end of march right) & GOW3 can help by adding a tiny spike compared to GT5's huge wedding cake of a spike!

This is how PS3 sales went in the previous fiscal year. Divided into three periods to make it easy:
Period 1: April-October 2008 (pre-holiday): 5 million
Period 2: November-December 2008 (holiday season): 3.1 million
Period 3: January-March 2009 (Q1): 2 million
Without a price cut before the holidays, it's on target to sell 3-4 million in period 1 this year. Then it needs at least 9 million in periods 2 and 3 combined, compared to 5 million last year.
That's an increase of exactly 80%, or almost doubling sales in the holiday period and Q1... Do you think a price cut, slim and GT5 in March (i.e. almost the end of the year) can do that?

lol no ofcourse not.
hmmmmmmm......then maybe they will cut price next month to get 60GB & 80GB's out of the circulation & then introduce the slim with a new marketing campaign
remember they actually did that in 2007, they had a price cut on the 60GB to get rid of the stock
if they did that would it be possible? Otherwise your right it seems less & less possible unless 0 GT fans have brought a PS3 so far
