Like 13 million is some sort of huge number?

A few of you people are confused by the OP and title of the thread. I don't mean 13 million is a insanely huge number I meant at the time it sounded a little far-fetched because the PS3 was selling so poorly. 

At the time this was announced it was around September, so from April 1st to September the PS3 had sold 2.2 million consoles in 5 months (Selling an average of about 100K a week), so in the next 7 months it had to sell 11 million more, so you see were I'm getting at now?

Also we didn't know about the price or about the Slim at the time this was announced.

you keep saying sold and selling...

the 13m was their shipping estimate not what we and others record as sold to consumers.

Okay okay but still if it's shipped at the most it'd be a million more then VG Chartz numbers. Hell they must have 13 million shipped by now, if anything there going to exceed that shipping estimate.

They may have difficulty exceeding their target if the shortages continue. You can't sell more units than you have manufactured and if their production is geared towards 13 million units then it will be it.
