15 million in less than a year? no I don't think so.

remember your little thread saying that even with a price cut, sony wont make the 13 million prediction for april 2010?

I don't remember making a thread, though I do remember claiming similar things in some posts regarding a $50 cut, perhaps I also said it wouldn't happen with a $100 cut, but I said nothing about a new model. All that pushing Sony has done and they only just managed 13 million.

Don't get me wrong though, I do think it could be close. I think it should finish the fiscal year 2011 with 13-14 million. (so about 47-48 million in total)

" ONLY" 13 million. Most people in this site including me saw it as impossible. We laughed at Sony for suggesting such number. The source had articles to show how impossible it would be, now we are saying "only",  give me a break.

Add in the fact that there has been shortages... And it makes the 13 Million even more impressive.

I can't wait to see how many Sony have actually shipped.

I didn't say only 13 million, I said they only just managed their target, I can't remember my specific posts from when their projection was released, but I vaguely remember saying it would take a lot more than (another) $100 cut, which it did.

Now if it turns out VGC has been tracking low and Sony Shipped 15 million+ this past year, then very well, I was wrong then and will be wrong again come next year (well wrong about it not making 50 million, but I am basing that off current VGC numbers after all)

At the current rate the PS3 will struggle to exceed 15 million by next April, and assuming VGC is correct it is actually 16 million it needs. Perhaps if Sony is willing to give another big price cut they could just make it, but without a cut I think 13 million is a good estimate for the year, to gain 3 million it would have to be another $100.
