Also i think these numbers puts some of the over zealous PS fans in their place regarding the outrageous predictions being made for end of March 2014. |
How? Close to 300K with supply issue this week, at this pace 7 million is easy by march.,...Not saying it will, but your post makes no sense. Plsu japan launch is february.

7 million is not outrageous....
8 million certainly is. My post was meant for those people predicting ~8 million or more..considering that my post makes a lot of sense.
To add to that what makes you think PS4 sales will stay exactly the same from now until end of March? It will obviously go down the further we get away from holiday season and the further away we are from launch. Theres also going to be about a month period where the PS4 wont have big software titles coming out. All these factors impact sales, this will make it harder for them to reach 7 million. Based on the numbers we have now its a bit early to say 7 million is "easy" by March.
You also mentioned that supply issues is impacting sales, if thats the case and if demand remains the same as you predict it will then remain an issue until March.

13 weeks and half to sell 3.8 million, that an average of around 290k a week with a japan launch thrown in the middle and the release of one of it's biggest titles of the year, sales still don't show the full demand of the system so slaes wont drop majorly any time soon. Explain why 8m is insane?

Because it will mean that Sony needs to sell just about every console it can produce. Actually that still wont make it 8 million if we go by the 1.2 rumour 
Not only is 8 million out of the rumoured production range but it also assumes that demand will not wane at all over the next 3 months.
And finally theres the assumption that Japan will have a really good launch with not much japanese centric software and considering that home consoles dont sell that well in japan anymore.
