Nintendo last year sold 33.646M units of Wii, DS and 3DS -- even with the Wii in its death throws. So the number can be done.
Nevertheless, Sony is being very optimistic on its sales estimates. It can't cut prices too much (if at all) because of the corporate bottom line. And a console estimate like that means Sony will not be saying anything about Orbis that could kill PS3 sales (though the WiiU and any Duragno news could).
Fopr reference, Sony sold 7.808M handhelds and 14.128 PS3s (no PS2 data available). Currently, based upon first quarter comparisons, PS3 is tracking at 13.167M for 2012 and PSP at 2.586 (EDIT to correct number). Estimates for Vita cannot be made based upon year-to-year performance. PS2 data is not available.

I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
