~1 million for March so that already puts you 500K behind the monthly average needed to hit 29 million by 1 Sept. And it's all downhill from there, aside from the bump the Batman special edition console will give it in June.

nah 29 million by september 30th.

Silly me, I mis-read. Still I don't see 29 million by 30 Sept either.

TPP is the biggest thing coming to PS4 before 3 Sept, and beinbg multiplat it's going to have a slightly dampening effect on its hardware pushing potential. Persona is really only big in Japan, let's face it, it won't do much for PS4 outside of that. 2 million in Sept is the best you'll get if its pre-price cut, which puts it at about 27 million. If the price cut actually happens in the final week of Sept then you might get an extra 500K. So 27.5 million.

Also my mis-read makes 11 million between Oct and Dec highly unlikely. The mighty Wii only just squeaked past 11 million in 2009 (oops just realised I used the wrong year in my first post) over those 3 months. And that was the year Wii dropped to $199.
