No, it's not plausable that Sony will come close to their sales projections this year ...
In its best year to date the PS3 sold (roughly) 10 Million units, and sales so far this year had them at a pace to sell 7.5 to 8 Million units. To make their projections the PS3 would have to sustain nearly double its current sales level. This seems unlikely because $300 is still expensive for a console in most consumer's eyes (remember 80% of consoles were sold for less than $200 last generation), there are less expensive and more popular alternative systems, and people in general continue to cut back on unnecessary purchases due to the shape of the economy.
