DarkD: "Seeing as how its at 3-4 mill right now another 3-4 mill doesn't seem like a big stretch going over the biggest sales time of the year when all of the killer applications will be coming out for it." The prediction was 7 million this year, so this year PS3 is at maybe 2.5 million. So it has to get to 4.5 million. Thing is, PS3's selling about 50K per week worldwide right now, call it 1.5 million for the rest of the year. So it needs a big bump to push that nearer 100K, and to sell 1.5 Million around the holiday, to get to 4.5 million for the rest of the year. I think former is impossible. Nov/Dec last year 360 sold about 3 million, so that scale is possible for PS3 if it is considered a viable christmas present. So that's the way to sell 7 million this year. Sell 3 million over the holidays.
