@Tridrakious Right now Sony IS on fiscal year 2010. March 31st was the end of fiscal year 2009. The fiscal year gets its name for the year it starts not the year it ends.
One more thing, 50 million? the PS3 is close to 35 million right now, they just sold more than 13.5 million last fiscal year (ended March 31st 2010). It's a given they will ship and sell more PS3s this year, why?
1- PS3 price since beginning of the year (both calendar and fiscal)
2- A lot stronger marketing effort (compared to fiscal year 2009, anyone can see the difference just in advertising which is only a -big- part of that)
3- Stronger software line-up all year which includes sales from flagship titles like God of War (even on the new fiscal year), and the upcoming release of BIG behemoth Gran Turismo 5, among other surprises to be revealed along the way for this fiscal year.
4- PlayStation Move is set to cause quite a stir. PS3 Move (bundles, especially) will move (arrg, not a stupid pun) hardware by the end of this calendar year, you can expect it to have an impact, so no surprises there.
5- Last but not least, rise of Blu-ray popularity will play its part even when the PS3 is/will be an expensive player on the market. You can add 3DTV gaming/movies here and any impact it'll have on hardware sales.
By the end of fiscal year 2010 (March 31st 2011), I could speculate the PS3 will have an installed base of over 48 million. I don't think it's so hard for Sony to accomplish that after the results they got from last year.
