800k npd is possible imho. 5 week month and it really looks like people waited for this bundle. Globally 1.5 seems very possible. If Japan wasn't dead to home consoles I would believe in 2m being in reach. I do think 2015 numbers at 299 euros/299 dollars/29900 yen can hit it if they bundle right again.

That is indeed a bold prediction, but not impossible either. I think it depends on whether the PS4 picks up in Japan this month and how much it sells on NPD. If the PS4 manages to sell like 700k on NPD, then yeah, 1.5M is definitely possible. However, it's really hard to predict the outcome. Even if the PS4 doesn't hit 1.5M for September, it will get pretty close to that target.

I'm not sure Sony has the production capability for that...

450k-500k in NPD is extremely likely. 360 did 528k when Halo 3 launched, and when you have the second fastest selling home console in the US, plus the most pre-ordered new IP and a new SKU color bundled together, I think PS4 can get somewhat close to Halo 3 numbers.

Everywhere else is going to probably equal to close to 1 million, so 1.5 million in September seems very possible.

Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287
