I believe Xbox 360 shipped 3.2 million by the end of it's first March and about 5.9 million by the end of its first September.
PS3 shipped 5 million by March (selling 3.61 million), and selling 5.63 by the end of that September.
EDIT: It's actually shippped 3.5 million.
I think it's fair to say that both their brands have grown since those launches. Time between generations, supply and prices seem to benefit the upcoming launches. Their competition against Nintendo seems software this time around than the last time with the Wii.
Despite all this, I think that the total sales figures will fall short of the expectations of many. I'm not sure the early adopter market is as large as many think. Personally, I'd say that 8 million shipped by March for both combined and 14 million by September: numbers from my ass.
