On the blog he they stated production of the Pi Zeros had to be delayed to build up the Raspberry Pi 3's. Now that the initial surge of Raspberry Pi 3's is done, they stated they will build "thousands a day" until demand is met.

I'm not sure "thousands a day" will ever even clear the backlog of people waiting to get their first much less keep up with the latent demand of people who would buy a handful once they knew they could reliably get them for use in projects.

You can claim 1000's (as in 2) and still not even make 3/4 million per year.

Is the backlog really in the millions? That would be impressive.
Yeah, when they shipped first raspberrys the demand was in millions. Now because Zero is so small and cheap, everyone who needed pi for tinkering will order several zeros, including me. The only thing which prevented me from getting one was lack of camera connector.
