PSV 800k in 2 months (200k in last month)

PSP 880k in 2 months (200k in last month)

...so 1.6m in 2 months, but only 400k or so in the last month,

This leaves 10.4m to do in 10 months. 

That forecast is for shipment numbers, aren't they?

So that means its 1.4 for the first 3 months (Q1) - from their financials, leaving 10.6m for the next 9 months. Or I'm missing something?

EDIT: Beaten

With numbers like these, Vita will have a hard time rebounding;its lifetime sales are suffering as a result of inactivity. As it stands I can see it doing 65 million lifetime, and it is only that low because of this poor launch. Something makes me feel like Nintendo overpriced the 3DS on purpose so that this pricing issue would happen to Sony.

Japan has come through for the PSP with truly unbelievable support for the past 3 years. I'm not confident in a repeat of that, but maybe the 3DS will become saturated and the Vita can repeat what the PSP did again.
