Looking at this again is interesting.

With this in mind, I think my PS3 prediction will end up too low, 360 probably too, Wii is slightly too high, WiiU is way too high (!), 3DS too high (damn all of yous making me adjust!), Vita is too high, PSP way too low. Oh and I believe PS4 will sell more than 1.4m if it launches WW (but that prediction was really without Europe).

Yeah, interesting to note the differences in sales increases really. Everyone really overpredicted Wii U and arguably Vita, maybe 3DS as well. 

I think PS3 will end up around 9mil when all is said and done. But it could be higher, depending on a price cut. More than 10mil seems unlikely though.
