Just so you know, PSP's estimate for last year was 15 million, too, before they adjusted it down 5 million to just 10 million after the Go flopped. They are simply way overestimating what affect PS Move will have. Also, MS doesn't do estimates, but I expect they are set to sell at least 12-13 million if not more thanks to Slim + Price Cut + Natal + Halo + Gears + Fable all coming in the next fiscal year.

Also, I believe this is the first time a PS3 estimate has not had to be adjusted down in order to be met so you shouldn't assume it will be correct based on one good year.

"but I expect they are set to sell at least 12-13 million if not more thanks to Slim + Price Cut + Natal + Halo + Gears + Fable all coming in the next fiscal year."

The most the X360 has sold in a year was 11 million which was in 2008, your saying it's going to sell 1 - 2 million more then that?!

Yes, it will.  I mean, it reached 11 million with JUST a price cut.  It's still $300 so it has plenty of room to cut price and boost sales quite a bit.  Once it reaches mass market price for the main selling SKU it will see huge sales.  This time we are also getting the redesign which is as confirmed as it can be before an official E3 confirmation by MS.  If you honestly believe there won't be a 360 redesign after the leaked info you are nuts.  All that combined with 3 of the biggest games on 360 will move plenty of consoles.  Not every Halo fan has a 360, we all know this.  In fact, I can think of tons of friends of mine that love halo but don't have a 360 or any console yet for that matter.  Halo is like a universal game everyone with a 360 plays when friends are over.  Halo: Reach, being a new storyline for halo, will move plenty of consoles to Halo holdouts that didn't want to join in mid/late into the main trilogy storyline.

Also, care to comment on any of the other stuff?  Like how the PS3 estimates were always adjusted way down in the past and the only reason it made the 2009 estimate was from a $100 cut and slim redesign?  Do you expect it to cut another $100 and do another redesign?  Because other than that there is no chance for it to reach those numbers.  Sony is way overestimating the effect of Move and GT5.  It's normal practice for them with past PS3 and PSP estimates.  That is all.
