Not to rain on anyones parade, (because it is a nice acomplisment to see the PS3 sell 10mil in one year) but everyone who says that they are going to easily make the fiscal predictions need to remember that the total is for March 09 - March 10 not Jan 09 - March 10. that means that this will be at much less then 12 million at the end of December.

They can still make the 13million for the fiscal year, but it is not as guaranteed as some people seem to think.

Update:

After a quick look at the numbers (acording to VGChartz) for the PS3

March 28, 2009 - 20,970,128

December 05, 2009 - 28,354,791

Fiscal to date - 7,384,663

So they still have ~5.6 million to go through the rest of December and the next 3 months to reach their 13 million goal.

Like I said, it is possible but not guaranteed.

12-12.5 million seems about right maybe a little higher though. Actually there is 4 weeks left considering we don't have sales data in for last week yet.

As for next year Sony definitely has the exclusives to keep PS3 up but this will be the first time the slim will be on the market for an extensive amount of time outside of special holidays and extensive software releases. We'll see if it survives. As for 15 million, I can't rule it out and seems somewhat plausible although I wouldn't say it is guaranteed in the least bit.

thats y i have it at 10.3 it needs last weeks sales to cross 10m im expecting 650k at least im counting last weeks sales so thats y i say 3 weeks left

That is fantastic, hopefully it will do 15 million next year.

Looks like PS3 has a very bright future!

PSP Go is about to set a record for yearly sales of the PSP Go as well.

I just set a record for things typed on December 16th, 2009!



No one in the world ever gets what they want, and that is beautiful.

Sony will make their physical year projections. We just have to remember it's shipped not sold. They will be close to 12 million sold by March. I'm sure they can get a million stockpiled somewhere.



 Go Team Venture! I still don't get the Wii, PS Move,  and Kinect.

Why do people do this? How is this in any way relevant? I say let people be happy that one of their consoles (or perhaps their favorite console) is doing well. Don't sour up the thread, please, or at least don't complain the next time someone comes in and sours up a Nintendo thread.

Well, he's using VGchartz-numbers, which are "sold to customers", not shipped. If it can reach 10.3 for the middle of december and there are two more weeks in 2009, then 11.5 is very likely at the end of the year. Add another 0.5 for the first two weeks of January (at least) and you have 12 million already.

That's not taking into account possible higher weeks during the next few weeks (with people predicting one million-week for FF XIII release). If only that is true, then 10.3 + 1 million already puts it at 11.3 for the week ending on the 20th. Looking at this prediction, 12 million sold in 2009 alone is possible, let alone in March.
