Sony says they want to move 18m units this fiscal year and right now they are roughly at 5m. They have 33 weeks left to make up the remaining 13m. That comes out to roughly 300k+ a week. Maybe they can pull it off... i mean they have had some pretty good weeks above 200-240k lately.

MS, I dont think, set any kind of unit goal. So anything they do this year is already above what they did last. Trending 5-6 months ahead of XBO... they should be able to hit 24m by end of the year, if not sooner.

This fiscal year started in April, they shipped 2.4m from then until end of June. I can guarantee they haven't shipped close to 5m yet.
Sales wise if you are using VGC then the current sales since April is about 3.1-3.2m in 17-18 weeks (The April sales on VGC data is 5 weeks including some days in March) There are 35 sales data weeks left before April 2023. The average weekly sales needs to be 425k

Given the recent improvement I don't think it's impossible, if they are capable of this level of weekly sales and can also hold some for holiday boost maybe 18m will be possible, but they definitely have more than 13m to go whichever way you look at it.
