This is all guesswork but with 3.7m PS3+PS4 vs 1.2m XB1 and .8m X360. MS said they may slow down or stop XB1 production for awhile but even so the shipping gap is probably at least 2m. And PS3 sales are dropping and being replaced with PS4s in stock instead. Could be something as serious as:
3.2m PS4
.5m PS3

That leaves XB1 total shipped 5.1m, and PS4 at 7.4m+.

So you think the PS4 had approx 0.5m supply at end of March? 

I'd say 7.1m max shipped PS4 by end of March.

It seems incongruous to suggest the PS3 shipped just over half of  the 360 when supply of the 360 was higher last quarter and the PS3 is apparently sellling more.

The main thing I am assuming is that retailers ordered too much PS3 stock from the holidays and sales have dropped leaving sufficient stock for them to ship a low amount of PS3s. NPD shows 360 outselling the PS3 in US last quarter and Japan PS3 sales are not too impressive. Would be nice for some Nintendo charts though.
