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.

The link doesn't exist because I am the link. For real though I'll try to find the source I read it from.

 

It's a very rounded number though. Just around one million produced in a month in China and a quarter million produced a month in Japan. You shouldn't be doing any calculations with it lol.
