Read, read, READ my posts as well.
I said that 10m is a reasonable estimate. I said that 15m is a reasonable estimate. These two statements are not mutually exclusive. Maybe I was unclear about that. If so, let this be the clarification: 10m was not my prediction, it was A_T's; I just said that it was reasonable. I stand by that assessment. 15m was sort of a prediction, but not a serious one, just an example I threw out of what might be another (perhaps more probable) reasonable guess. If you want to hold me to that number, whatever. It's definitely not going to go up to 20m, I can tell you that much.
We have not definitively seen this year's sales plateau for the systems. It is too soon after the spike to make a judgement. See below.
The car analogy is a joke. And I never said that the PS3 would suddenly become more attractive than the PS2 period, I said it would become more attractive COMPARED TO IN 2007.
You just used three exclamation points. Your posts are FULL of exaggerations and the paragraph in which you just said you weren't exaggerating is no exception. Aside from the fact that you're wrong about me changing my numbers, 15m =/= "almost" 30m.
"Nothing significant has changed in the last 12 months"? Maybe the PS3 going from almost no games to a decent lineup with more on the way? Maybe Wii production being massively increased which will no doubt eat into the bargain-hunter market you say (correctly) that the PS2 is exploiting? (Yes, even though the Wii is still twice the price!)
IT IS TOO EARLY TO SAY THAT THE PS2 IS ON TRACK FOR 2008=2007 SALES. Especially when PS2 sales last week were lower than [edit: same time last year]. So no, the numbers aren't "exactly the same".

Hey -- it is starting to feel like beating one's head against a wall.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
