Question is, can PS3 match 360's 6th year figure of 13.6 million (I think)?

Looking at PS3 previous years...

2007: 7,704,872
2008: 9,920,589 ( 29%)
2009: 13,024,761 ( 31%)
2010: 14,450,859`( 11%)

Yes. It can.

 

I assume % is year growth?

I'm terrible at predicting future console sales. The idea that 360 has had it's peak year after its 6th year since launch, without a price cut, is beyond me. The fact that it's holding 10% stronger sales into 2011 is also beyond me.

I feel both 360 and PS3 sales will go down overall this year. PS3 is selling 15-25 8% lower then last years sales, so without a price cut I don't see PS3 sales being above 13 million. Even with a price cut, I still think 2010 was a peak year for both the 360 and PS3, but I have been wrong before.

It could go either way.

Fixed.

This year: 2,531,364
Last year: 2,780,164

But the price cut will put PS3 over last year in the second semester.

For reference the 360 numbers too...

This year: 2,250,997
Last year: 1,923,147

The problem here is 360 will be down in the second semester because last year it had a new model, Halo and Kinect.
