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).
