... for Sony to hit their 13 million target in the ongoing fiscal year (April 2009 - March 2010).

Between April - May 2009, it has sold 0.8m, which means it has to sell 12.2m more until March.

In the last fiscal year, after June they sold 8.4m. 8.4m to 12.2m is a 45% increase year-over-year. IMO at the very least Sony needs a $100 price cut soon and GT5 before the holiday season to attain their goal, and even then it's not easy at all.

What do you think?

EDIT - for reference, PS3 sales between April - May 2008 were 1.3 million, which means it's 40% down so far. To go from 40% down to 45% up... ouch.

very possible. with or without a price cut..

I'm very surprised a price cut wasn't announced by now. I thought for sure it would be coupled with KZ2- that came and went. E3 was the next logical step- that too came and went. Who knows when that cut is coming :\

Well I don't know why they'd made predictions like those unless they had something planned.

...

CUT THE PRICE SONY!!!

This. I'm pretty sure Sony have the pricecut, the slim and GT5 for this holiday.

Is that .8 VGC numbers or Sonys.

i am DYING for a price cut, get on it sony!

lower price means more 3 system doods

and thats the best place to be

VGC. I suppose it's corroborated by NPD, Media Create and Famitsu, so if sales are far off from reality it can only be in Others.

It's probably pretty accurate though.

Thank you captain obvious, we should bring in another one to tell people how they will increase PS3 sales. I will be that being and say a price cut which I see happening in September along with the PS3 Slim.

Then software like FFXIII in Japan, GT5 WW and other exclusives with PS3 Slim = possible.

@RPG: You must have met a different Captain Obvious than I have. The Captain Obvious I know never makes calculations.
