SCEA's big man on campus, Jack Tretton, recently announced that the PlayStation brand as a whole is selling like half-priced Ensure at a retirement community.  Numbers are up from estimates and everything is going well. 

The PlayStation 3 has been selling at a rate that's over 30% better than originally estimated and is on track to hit 10 million units by March '09.  That's an increase of over 100% versus last year's sales.  So that means, that over the same period of time, Sony managed to sell 100% more consoles than last year which is 30% more than what they were expecting to so that works out to roughly...  Ok, we can assume that they're pretty happy with the sales; math was never my strong suit. 

The PSP is also said to be selling at somewhere between 20 and 30% over their estimates.  All told, things are going pretty well, or at least better than planned.
