Well, not quite, but the PS3 total at the end of 2012 will be a little more than the PSP total at the end of 2011. Obviously, PS3 next year will do better than PSP this year (I mean, quite pessimistically, it's gonna be 8m or so against the PSP which will be lucky to break 5m this year), but my comparison obviously allows for PS3 to do significantly better than the PSP since the PSP isn't getting anywhere close to 100m LT.
And, well, while your point is justified, as lots of our more rabid friends will point out, these things are much more than toys and they're willing to throw hundreds of dollars to acquire video game consoles. In this case, unlike most, the market seems to agree.

Are they really indicative of the general population? I like to think not :P . Also, let us not forget the developing markets of the world, regions which Sony likes to target.

In most cases, they really aren't, but, as we've seen by the sales of consoles priced over $199 and the absence of demand exploding past that pricepont, I'd say that people are willing to spend that much money on toys.
The developing market is a separate issue, really, since they will probably react better to this low a price, but how much the PS2 will emulate PS3 sales in developing market is an even more complicated issue that we needn't delve into, :P.
