You have to figure the 14.25m they expect to ship from Oct to March is based on December primarily. The shipment plan, after seeing the April-September results (5.75m shipped) was probably something like this:
Oct ~ 1.25m (price cut month one - previous months were ~800k-900k)
Nov ~ 3m (NSMB Wii, Black Friday/Retailer promotions to clear out stock build up)
Dec ~ 6.5m (3.3m Shipped Americas, 2.4m Shipped Others, 800k Shipped Japan)
Jan ~ 1.5m (Peak season in Japan)
Feb ~ 1.0m
Mar ~ 1.0m (Next big set of titles arrive)
