So this good or bad thing?
0.6 mln. in january.
1 mln. in february.
1,4 mln. in march.

Total 3 mln. or 12 mln. by the end of march 31th.

So it need 2 mln. more? Because 12 mln. sold to consumers +2 mln. left for retailers - i see that Real. =)

Question, Crazzy.

What causes PS3 to sell in March 133% more than it did 2 months prior in January?  Are you predicting a large price cut as well?  That might do it.

 

"PS3 2008 (2nd year) - PS2 2001(2nd year)
Since 1st Januarty til March 31 2008 Total PS3 = ???
Since 1st Januarty til March 31 2001 Total PS2 = 2,64 mln."

I think a clearer chart of the PS2 during that time period is:

Since the PS2 had just been launched both in America in Oct 2000 and Total Other in Dec 2000, to say that 1 - 3 months later that they are in their second year, while literally true, is a bit much. 

However, I do see PS3 selling better than it did last year.

VGChartz Hardware data for the period 31st Dec 2006 to 01st Apr 2007:

Console	PS3
Total	1,741,581

 

So strangely enough,  if they can get a 50% increase in the next 3 months they will hit your 2.5M revised.  A good size jump, but perhaps doable.  And then like you say, stuff those retail supply lines with another 2.5M.  Ouch!!
