Yes, I understand this, but what you have to take into consideration is the following:
The PS3 was not released in Others until March, also when it was released in Europe it was at a huge price. It is now £125 cheaper to buy a PS3 in the UK than it was in March which is a huge 30% pricecut. Yes, it's a different model, but it is effectively the same console. In Others, the PS3 has sold near 4m units in just 9 months, most of these months being at the higher price.
The same applies to NA as well. The price has dramatically been reduced and the sales are pretty good.
Add to this, the potentially much larger selection of games being released this year, with a whole multitude of BIG hitters including MGS4, GTA4, Killzone 2, Resistance 2 amongst others.
I honestly reckon that the PS3 can potentially sell as many as 13m, although I reckon 11m is more realistic.
Prediction (June 12th 2017)
Permanent pricedrop for both PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro in October.
PS4 Slim $249 (October 2017)
PS4 Pro $349 (October 2017)
