Sony needs to build up inventory for the Japanese release. That, in combination with a still high demand in the west, restricts the availability of PS4 in western stores. The fact that Sony still manages to sell 150 000-200 000 systems per week in the west while also building up inventory for the Japanese launch suggests Sony has increased their production more than we have been told between the lines in various company statements. I wouldn't rule out Sony being able to sell 800 000-1 million PS4 in Japan this quarter, and still manage to sell an additional 800 000-1 million systems in the west. That would lead to sales of 6,7-7,1 million systems by the end of March if Sony really has managed to increase production. My prediction from December, based in part on Sony's own statements at the time, was 5,5-6,5 million systems sold by the end of March 2014. PS4 clearly is a massive success.
