It jumped to 60k a week with just MH3 launching. Then I look at all the other games coming out Q2 and Q3. I think its definitely happening. Plus, I'm sure we'll see more bundles/deals with the launch games by Q3 as well.

MH3, Lego City and NFS: MW. A one week bump, too. Expect it to drop down again when no games are coming (the majority of the weeks). Still very possible, but you said easy . 

Why is everyone always forgetting The Walking Dead ? :P


OT: People shouldn't forget that MH3U got its own bundle in Europe, so I assume that Lego City, while having bigger SW sales, won't move as much hardware as MH3U.

Think the price slashes are a bigger impact but nice overall



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Nice.

May not make Q1 goals, it it will surely make Q4 goals.

You mean it will make Q1 goals in Q4? That's actually possible.

Was this supposed to be humorous?

5.5m will be easily sold through by Q3.

I'm sure Q4 will be to have ~10m sold LTD.

1.5-2m in 6 months would be 250k-333k per month on average or about 60-80k per week. Considering its current state, I wouldn't call that easy. More like possible, if they release many more games than they did in Q1.

...and a price cut on top of it.

@superchunk - Wii U sits at 2.81 mil sold, the Q1 goal was 5.5 mil. At first it was supposed to be a joke, but I thought Wii U was at 3.8 mil. Now I seriously don't get your remark, as it is perfectly possible for Wii U not to reach 5.5 mil until Q4. It's not like there is anything really big in the lineup for that period and the most important games don't even have release dates. Chances are 50/50, so that's not really humorous. Sad if anything.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.
