[1] This fiscal year is weird because Nintendo started ending the fiscal year in March rather than August. Therefore, this fiscal year is only seven months long.

[2] All shipment numbers for Sony after this point are estimates, because Sony unhelpfully stopped separating their shipment numbers by region in FY3/2008. I estimated by using VGChartz US data from the end of April for each year (I used April instead of March because having a month's worth of consoles on store shelves seems appropriate) and then I multiplied those US numbers by the ratio of NA/US from the lifetime sales chart.
