But that is all true;.Every year has been the best for PS3...And yes I also believe next year has a high chance to be doing better than this year..

How much did the PS3 ship in Q1FY? I presume it's in first place so far considering its huge lead over the other consoles in the last quarter.

Why should it not be the case?

Maybe if you would take your Anti-Sony behaviour off you would see that every year topped the year before, not only in great games, but also in sales.

Let's see that PS3 grows even more in 2011 !!!

I don't think they'll reach 15 million but I think it will be very close, say 14.5 million sold.

I don't know whether or not you're being sarcastic but Sony shipped more in '09 than they did in '08, they shipped more in '08 than they did in '07, and, if their projection holds, they'll have shipped more in 10 than they did in '09, so when people said the year prior to it happening that "2008/09/10 will the PS3 best year ever", they were right.

It shipped 2.42 million in Q1 of the fiscal year and 3.5 million in Q2. It's 950k ahead of the Wii so far for the fiscal year. MS's fiscal year starts in July but lining up the March-September quarters PS3 is ahead of 360 by 1.62 million. Assuming they do hit their projection and the January-March 2011 quarter is similar to this year than shipments for the holiday quarter should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 7 million. Assuming Ninty hits their 17.5 million Wii projection holiday shipments should be around 9.5-10.5 million. MS is a question mark. We don't have any projections to gauge off of.

Channel Stuffing more likely this year...I mean the gap between the PS3 and 360 in the November NPD was huge

Going by our numbers it was already stuffed at the end of the July-September quarter. 1.85 million PS3s in the channel compared to 1.3 million Wiis and 900k 360s, and a measly 800k DS (which is tiny for the volumes that it sells in). I actually think we're noticeably overtracking the DS.

Thanks for the information.

Looking at recent sales via VGC/NPD/MC, I don't think that the PS3 will actually hit its target; EMEAA would have to have astonishing sales for this to be accomplished. By sales, I should think that PS3'll finish around 2.1m or so in Americas for the quarter and 550k or so in Japan. I really don't see EMEAA sales being twice that of Americas in the holiday quarter. On top of that, Move was likely boosting sales at the end of last quarter and substantial shipments to be sold in early next quarter were probably made at that time, reducing shipments from this quarter. I'd therefore expect shipments to be around 5-5.5m rather than 7m. Unless Sony has something massive up its sleeves, I simply don't see how they expect to outsell Wii's March 2010 quarter substantially.
