Will Valence produce more laptop batteries than world demand by the end of the year?

Consider this example for Line 1.

Its maximum footprint is 4x5 inches. A 4x5x 6mm thick cell should hold about about 30 watt hours with the new chemistry. four of them packaged edge-to-edge would be 8x10 inches would nicely fit into a laptop cover or behind the screen and hold about 120 watt hours. They should be able to make about 1 million of these per year.

My combined estimate for 3 lines was 250 million watt hours per year. At 120 watt hours per battery, this would be about 2 million laptops per year. Please explain how I projected "....they would produce more batteries by the end of the year than the world demand for laptops and cell phones combined...." Does 2 million portable computers exceed the world demand? If not, maybe Valence is ok to have ordered more production equipment.
