If sony is making 1 million a month consoles, then yes that is true that number would not change, but what would change would it's distribution. So if they were launching in more asian (others) then they would have to send more of their stock their for launch, even if this meant numbers of supply in other countries were lower.
Who knows what the actual figures are (500k does seem high, but 20k is also too low)... but i cannot see adding another batch of countries is going to mean the same number of sales. It should mean higher sales numbers in the following week in *others* even if it means lower shipment numbers in Europe/USA... if that makes sense.
Also someone was suggesting that Sony were flying out January shipments early (i.e they were made and would go out on boat or something).. so that could give them access to another 200k + of stock. If they are making 1 million a month.
