Sony: likely to meet annual PS3 sales target

(Reuters) - Sony Corp (6758.T) said on Thursday PS3 game console sales were on track to reach the company's target of 15 million units for the year to March 2011, with first-half sales likely just above forecast.

First half above forecast? I really would like to know how they plan to meet their projection. They're up 1.3 million on Q1 but almost all of those gains will likely vanish after Q2. Under the current circumstances I can't see them making up almost 2 million in the second half of the fiscal year. Perhaps Source's theory is correct and we'll see a price cut around the beginning of next calendar year. I'm also curious to see if they think they can hit their software projection for the entire PS family (around 200 million).
