In the annual report for the last fiscal year, they report sales of 5.5 million ps3 units (so probably that much units built in the fab up to 31/03/2007), if they want to get 11 million additional units out of the factory up to end of march 2008, there would be 16.5 million units in the market ... Unlikely they are about to get 16.5 million units out to the customer anytime near or close after that date (31/03/2008) and rather unlikely retailers like to stock PS3s in huge quantities ....

 Whoa, whoa.  They switched they're reporting methods after the 5.5 million units shipped as in PRODUCED.  They had sold to retail about 3.5 million units that time, and they are now reporting shipped as in sold to retail.  The fiscal goal of 11 million units means ~14.5 million units LTD at the end of March.
