Since there seems to be two different discussions going on about the same topic, I'll just post this here..
I honestly don't see how Sony expects to meet their 15m projection. They only hit 14.3m last year. And their tracking below last year quite a bit.
I honestly don't see this $50 price cut increasing holiday sales much. At best, it'll match last year's holiday sales. But that won't even be enough to counter the YOY loss set by the beginning of the year. Even if holiday sales somehow countered the current YOY loss, that would only be 14.3m
I think Sony was over-confident in Move/3D/Exclusive-lineup and over-estimated. We'll see what happens I guess. I hope I'm wrong though.
