The argument in the thread would be alright if it weren't for the fact that sony always overestimate their shiment numbers and adjust them down later

Their PS3 projections for FY ending in 2009 and 2010 were spot on and they actually beat their PS2 projection this year. PSP's shortfall last year was obviously because of the enormous flop that the Go was.

 

Thank you, that's exactly my point! They make their hardware predictions based off things going right. Nintendo, however make their predictions based off the assumption that all their products will flop. So that 15 million prediction is based off move instantly killing the Wii and causing a significant proportion of Wii users to 'upgrade' It is not based off a price cut in the works

Well, that's what you base it off... but seriously, they probably have a very good reason why. Hey, look at last year FY, they actually overshot their prediction. They weren't expecting their revision to explode, they knew it would do well but not this well. The way I interpret it, Sony is planning another price drop to the 250$ mark. This makes sense according to the golden price concept being the price where the most consoles sell. Wii peaked at 250, FY2009, 360 peaked in the 200$-250$ year, ps3 is planning 15m, looks like a price cut inbound.
