If we're going based on trends, I have two that matter more. Sony has won the last two generations without breaking a sweat. Most major third party games have been and continue to be on PS2/3.

Sony really doesn't have much in the way of games in the US either, but the big stumbling block in Japan is that PS2 dominates the charts (DS notwithstanding), so developers just keep releasing games for that. As we go further in the year, we will start to see the fruit of development resources shifting away from the PS2.

With those figures I meant US alone. Globally, I'd expect Sony to hit shipments of 15 million by the end of the next fiscal year. 360 is a very attractive platform at the moment, as long as the key focus is US sales, which for most developers it probably is.

Even if Sony won last generation it wont matter in this generation. If Sony continue to be third in USA and 2nd in Japan for the next coming 12 months, 3rd party devs will go for another plattform.

They at least have Resistance and Motorstorm, Japan has Gundam, and that game fell of the charts.

So sony will ship 15 million by the end of next fiscal year, might be correct how many sold?
