It's obvious they mean PS2 for all but the first occurrence in that 
paragraph, not PS3, since the first paragraph of the article mentions 
that Sony's target was to ship 2 million PS3 by December 31, and that 
they only managed 197k in November.  Think about this a moment: if they 
only shipped 197k in November, how could they sell a million in November?

Note also where the author says his estimate is that Sony will actually 
sell 1 million PS3 for 2006, which turned out to be a pretty good guess 
for December 15th, when that article was published--the final number 
ended up around 700k for PS3 (and 1.8 million for Wii, 2 million for 
XBox360 holiday sales).
