I dont know any company that lowballs its numbers, investors dont care for that kind of stuff. Saying that kind of stuff can lead to alligations of stock manipulation and whatnot. You are right about the 3 million being another companies estimate. Guess we really wont know until the fiscal year end.

Sony made a prediction for sales a little over ONE MONTH. What the hell has that got to do with stock manipulation? Who the hell can blame someone for a month's sales prediction?

It was NOT for the fiscal year.

Was about to say something similar.  Yea, it's not manipulating if they are just giving a ballpark number that is a realistic goal.  If they miss it, investors will be disappionted.  If they exceed it, investors will be happy, and maybe more will come on board.  I mean, its not like they are saying they plan to ship 2 million consoles and BAM, "Well, looks like we shipped 15M!"
