If it is really 1.25 mil they could have 6 mil PS4s produced through the end of November. Mean the ones produced towards the end of the month have a shot at making it to retail before cmas.

Zero chance.

They said in November they expected to ship 5m by end of March 2014.

Maybe they increased production a litle cand will get to 6m by then?

where is the link saying 1.25m per month?

That link doesn't exist, no surprise here.

The 5mio quoted from Sony is likely sell-through. With 3-4 ships still on the oceans somewhere, that goes along with 1mio units per month manufactured which most people agree is a "good" number (for either company). Getting to 1mio per month is a thing that takes time, though. First weeks you have to train the machines and the monkeys so the output typically is only a fraction of your goal. the 1mio mark probably wasn't reached until sometime into October.
