Weel, if they sell 8,4 by the end of this year.
Then they will have 13 weeks to reach their goal, or 200k weekly.

40k Japan, 80k USA, 80K europe.
Well first 2-3 weeks, they will easy reach that number.

Haze, UT3, GT5:Prologues should really move some systems.
Then, if GTA4 comes in march, i expect 50$ price cut from sony, which will drive maybe 300-500k that week.
Then probably KZ2 MP beta will move some consoles.

Time will show, but if Sony confident, then they will probably achieve their goal or atleast 10,5 mln. =)

Uh, their goal is to sell 11 million THIS YEAR. Not 11 million life time to date by the end of this year. In other words by March they expect to sell something like 14.5 million by the end of march.

THIS FISCAL year ends at 31th March 2008. By March they expect to SHIP 14,5 mln. and SELL 11 mln.


No... By 31st March 2008, they expect to have sold ~14.5 mln LTD. This is comprised of 11 mln sold during THIS fiscal year in addition to the ~3.5 mln sold previously.

Note -- to Sony, sold = shipped to retailer. How many times does this have to be repeated before it's understood??



PS3 will for sure surpass 360 and that is the only thing that Sony will hope for... other things aren't hopes but dreams !!!!!

@ avinash_Tyagi )

In 3 weeks you won't like to use that graph anymore , because by then PS3 graph will have overtaken the 360 graph. You wonder why? Easy , the 360 launched 2 weeks later into the year ,than the PS3 did , so it's 2006 christmas spike is shown in the graph 2 weeks earlier than the 2007 one for the PS3. If you go back 2 weeks on the 360 graph you'll see that it's 500k lower than the PS3 at the same point into the year.

 Then in two weeks we can discuss whether PS3 has a chance, even if does overtake the 360 sales, it will have to sustain large sales until march to get close to 11 million LTD, unlikely

doubtful, but you can't really accost them for having optimism for their own console.

 Optimism is one thing, but Sony seems intent on ignoring real world facts

So, who cares about 14,5 ? It`s only SOLD to consumer matters. Will whey ship those 14,5 or not, how this will effect gaming market?

Only 11 mln. matters. And most like they will reach their goal, Sony is returning to it`s domination.

Just don`t forget, they have to ship atleast 25 mln. by the end of 31 march 2009, to be succesful as ps2 was. =)

http://vgchartz.com/hwlaunch.php?cons1=PS2&reg1=All&cons2=PS3&reg2=All&cons3=X360&reg3=All&weeks=152 Ps3 will make more, then 7,95 mln. by the end of this year. =)
