| TheSource said: You have to figure the 14.25m they expect to ship from Oct to March is based on December primarily. The shipment plan, after seeing the April-September results (5.75m shipped) was probably something like this: Oct ~ 1.25m (price cut month one - previous months were ~800k-900k) Nov ~ 3m (NSMB Wii, Black Friday/Retailer promotions to clear out stock build up) Dec ~ 6.5m (3.3m Shipped Americas, 2.4m Shipped Others, 800k Shipped Japan) Jan ~ 1.5m (Peak season in Japan) Feb ~ 1.0m Mar ~ 1.0m (Next big set of titles arrive)

I would agree that this probably was their plan.
Making those November/December numbers however is going to be hard.
They look like they will be short 300-400k on November and if the pattern stays the same that means short another 600-800k in December ( taking December = 2x November).
PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !
PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !
