no way 11 million sold by march 08, maybe 9 mill tho

The ps3 should be very close to 9 mil. by the end of the year. Why would it take them until March to sell that many?

Because they wont be close to 9 mil by end of the year.

Im willing to bet on that, they won't reach even 8 million on 2007

 Why?  Generally, 50% of CE sales occur during the 4th quarter of the calendar year, because of the holiday saeson.  For example, last year, the 360 had only managed to sell ~4.5 mil. consoles worldwide by the end of September.  However, it managed to sell another ~4 mil. consoles throughout the holidays, bringing it's year end totalsclose to 9 mil. consoles sold.  Why would the same not happen for the ps3?  Especially with the recent price drops and addition of the 40gb SKU.  Not to mention the fact the ps3 is just now getting good games, like R&C5 and Uncharted.
