DS is ahead of last year's pace through July. With remakes of Pokemon coming in September in Japan, and DSi still doing well in the west I think they'll raise either HW or SW for DS...maybe both.
As for Wii, they'll probably lower hw but I really think they're preparing for a price drop, so I think we'll see Wii down to 23, 24m and then they'll raise their software target and cut their profit forecast (i.e. all indicative of a price cut to try to kick Wii up over the holidays).
I think PSP should be lowered but they'll likely wait on the PSP Go as BKK2 said a few pages back. PS3 will be lowered as there is no cut before August it looks like...so they have at best 8 month to raise sales 4m. I just don't see it. But 11.5m or so is possible with a $100 cut I think, and 10m probably doable with a $50 cut. If they lower their hardware projection but intend to cut price overall software will only be down a little. I think 225m across the three Playstations still looks good. But PS2 software is pretty much dead (~48m OS2 games bought by retailers for a base of ~142m for the March 2010 fiscal year means only 1 in 3 PS2 users are buying a game for the year) and PSP software is down alot over last year to date.
