That's because it was overshiped during the holiday season, and there was less overall demand from retailers. This is why providing shipped numbers sometimes can really stab you in the back.

No, it's because the previous quarter included the holiday season and that's the time of the year when the most hardware is sold by far. It would be completely bonkers if the quarter ending March 31st would be better than the quarter ending December 31st. Come on, super6646, this is basic stuff.
