Cowen Group analyst Doug Creutz is far less optimistic about the course of the PlayStation 3's market share, however. "Our console estimates include a further share shift towards the Nintendo Wii and away from the Sony PS 3," he says. He expects PS3, which sold 3.6 million units in 2008, to sell 4 million units in 2009, compared to his previous forecast of 6.25. Projections for 2010 of 4.5 million units suggest the analyst believes the PS3 could pick up by that time.

Yep. It should be that figure before revision. I wonder when did they predict 5.75 Million Wii in 2009. If it is early 2008, I can only laugh. If it is before Wii Launch, I can understand that.
BTW, my own prediction is 3.3 Million PS3 and 11.5 Million Wii for 2009. I look like a big Wii Fanboy :).
Your 11.9 Million Wii and 3.5 Million PS3 also meant that you are a big Wii Fanboy :).
