Just because they can make a million a month doesn't mean they have 1.5 million ready to be bought in 1.5 months. Especially considering that it's the first 1.5 months after launch.

Also, they were holding stock for the Japan launch were they not? So lets say Patcher was off by 10% and Sony are making 900K a month (1.35M in 1.5 months). So if they saved 350K for Japan then that leaves them with 1 million left over and they've sold 980k through the 15th of this month. It's not exact math of course but it's not hard to imagine that Patcher was just off.

Do you really mean 350K in March from the NPD numbers? NPD is JUST the U.S. Even the Wii only did 286k it's first march in America.

Even though infamous is not a huge system seller it should be able rack up atleast 100K gamers from NA. The way I see the PS4 needs more games to have WII like phenomens. The WII especially had goods legs in it's first 3 years until nintendo reverted back to their gamecube ways ... Even though playstation consoles are known for having much better sustained legs over 5 years it will need alot of decent software to be able to pull it off. 

The WII had the best quality games whether you like it or not and I don't think the PS4 will have a great deal of alot of games that sell over 20+ million coppies. The PS2 on the other hand had the best library for consistent quality since there were tons of games that went over the 1 million mark but I highly doubt the PS4 will be able to match that up because AAA game development is getting prohibitively expensive. 

That just seems like a really high expectation...Even Halo 3 only gave the 360 a 4-5 week bump that added up to around 100K units.

The Wii had a crazy first couple of years but that's because it was being bought buy the casual market. People who had never bought a console before, and probably will never buy a console again.
