1 million is possible, but I think 600-700k is more likely given the PS4's current pace and weekly sales. If it sells around 150k or less every week up until now, that could mean seven weeks or so of supplies in actual stores, which seems like a lot for what is a slow time of year. 1 million uncluding the whole channel and end of assembly is not unlikely though.
Teeqoz: I feel exactly the same way about the tracking, we very recently had a shipment update and still fail to approach more grounded weekly sales. Q1 tracking 2016 was off over 30%, slight corrections were made after official statements and now we're apparently back to a near-similar margin of error. It's just too big and even if LT sales are not off by much, this discrepancy makes it near worthless to have discussions around weekly sales figures since they grossly misrepresent the actual state of the market, that's kind of an issue on a forum that is built on and around discussion of sales numbers, preferably their own at that. If these margins carry into the holiday season (which seems fairly likely from where I'm sitting), we could be looking at enormous sheer figures overtracked (a 25-30% miss on a good holiday week is easily several hundred thousand units, which translates into 1 million + in a good month, say December).
