I'm not saying they won't sell 15 million, but Sony's estimates haven't always been on the mark. Yes they made their estimate last year, but they didn't for several years before that. I don't think Sony has proven they are accurate based on one year.

I'm pretty sure they met their estimate in 2008 at least for the PS3

I'm pretty sure that 2008 estimate was adjusted down in order to be met, though.  They always meet their final estimations, or close to it.  Its just the initial estimates are usually adjusted down.  Sony has a nack for overestimating the demand of a product.  The figured the PSP Go would be a rocket success but ended up adjusting PSP estimates DOWN 5 million!  I expect they are overestimating the affect of PS Move this time.  They seem pretty confident that the Wii crowd is just going to jump right onboard which I doubt will happen much if at all.

Well, a mass jump is definitely out of question. But even in the worst case, Move and Natal will widen PS3 and XB360 appeal at least just a little bit.
