A $400 did 400k the week of Black Friday in 2008.

Following weeks:

12/6/08: 365,049

12/13/08: 437,095

12/20/08: 525,092

12/27/08: 477,674

So, it would need roughly a 50% - 60% increase each week from last year.

For comparison, the 360's figures from last year:

12/06/08: 575,824

12/13/08: 669,417

12/20/08: 861,964

12/27/08: 719,885

Total: ~2,826,000

However, the holiday boost usually begins in late October:

11/29/08

PS3 - 393,697
360 - 718,559

11/22/08

PS3 - 241,262
360 - 399,877

11/15/08

PS3 - 211,378
360 - 302,886

11/08/08

PS3 - 195,940
360 - 267,933

11/01/008

PS3 - 197,257
360 - 211,373

So if the ps3 truly levels off at around 200k (unlikely), it'll start selling above 200k weekly by the first week of November.

From the 28th of September to the 27th of December, 2008, the PS3 and 360 sold the following amounts:

Console PS3 X360
Total
3,658,321
5,534,032

This PS3 would have to sell approximately the same amount of units from now until the end of the year as the 360 did last year to reach 30 million - 5.45 million.  It's certainly possible.

 

Looking at it that way, its sure. PS3 is sure to sell at least the same amount X360 was able to do last year.
