This is kind of a pointless discussion. Had Sony really sold 10.5M units to end users by end of 2007, they would have been in range of their original 11M forecast by end of fiscal year (and they would have made _a lot_ of noise about that success). The fact that Sony reduced their goal to 9M immediately proves that the 10.5M units is sold to distributors. End of discussion.

 

Your conclusion is correct, but your first premise isn't. The 11 M forecast was for the fiscal year only, i.e. it didn't include the ~3.5 million PS3s which were shipped before the current fiscal year. Even if Sony had sold 10.5 M to consumers by the end of 2007, it doesn't mean they'd reach that goal.
