I doubt they can pass the 360 by the end of the year, but they'll probably close the gap a bit more.  They need to sell at least 7 million next quarter if they want to realistically hit 15 million for the fiscal year.  (that's assuming nothing major changes in terms of price/bundles/etc.)

No, Sony just posted their results from the 2nd quarter, they have still 2 more quarters to sell. Their fiscal year is not the calendar year...

I know that.  7 million wouldn't hit 15 million for the calendar year.  But they aren't going to hit 15 million for the fiscal year unless they do at least 7 million in the holiday quarter.  If they were to only sell 6.3 million like last year, they would need a massive 3.2 million jan-mar quarter to hit their forecast.  2.5 million is still high, but within the realm of possibility.

that was largely in part do to a 200-400k drop to 500k 1 wk in Dec last yr. noy sure what sony was selling wk'ly in Dec. last yr before the drop, but it likely PS3 still likely would not have sold 15m fiscal 2010 anyway.
