Pretty sure. Financial forecasts are always for the fiscal year, not life-to-date. You can find many articles confirming this, such as:

Sony's chief financial officer, Nobuyuki Oneda, said Thursday that it might miss its target to sell 11 million PS3 consoles this fiscal year.
The only way they can achieve this is by shipping thousands of PS3 to each official Sony store before 31st of March 2008.
When Sony does their next quarterly report (should be out in January), they'll have to decrease the forecast, unless they want the worst thing to happen - to miss their forecast in March which would guarantee another round of doom and gloom for the PS3 in the media and everywhere.
