@Joeorc - I deliberately didn't bring up the numbers of the PS3 because you cannot win that debate against people who have a diffferent opinion to you. I understand every argument you're placing in favour of your point but the weight and relevance you place on those points is tiny in my opinion which is the opposite view to yourself. I'll simply say the demand for the PS3 has been lower and never will be on par to the PS2 (you must be able to at least admit this).
I'm pretty sure by the way that 2010 will be the peak year for the PS3, perhaps 2011 at a BIG push but its all decline after that.
Back to the OP though, the question is did we think Sony was crazy with their shipment figures, the rest of this debate isn't really answering that but going off topic due to one poster saying how the mighty had fallen effectively. 13 million was a lot of consoles to ship but in the grand scheme of things its not that crazy when you compare it to what the PS2 was capable of and the Wii so in that regard, no they weren't crazy, just optimistic. Fair assessment joeorc?
