without GT5 releasing this year has been confirmed, I doubt it will reach 30m by the end of 2009...

The ps3 this Xmas will do way better then the 360 did last xmas.

So taking that into account the PS3 will blow past 30 Million and you people that are like oh 28 million are really funny.

Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

@ Serious

I think 28 million is pretty much guaranteed this year.

@OP
The data and calculations you kindly collected and did for us suggest that it's not impossible, but quite difficult.
Unless during the remaining 9 weeks before Black Friday PS3 manages to do significantly more than 200k average. Anything more than 250k average in this period could give more chances.

What could help a lot more is, anyway...

...Big adjustment upwards!

Yeah, I know, I'm cruel towards both fans and haters...

When I heard someone say 30 million in the last thread I didn't think it could do it. But now that you said it like that I think it really has a chance.

Edit: Meant to say with serious_frusting's thread I think it can.
