Its possible but I'm not really sold on that just yet. Using an average estimate of sales for the remaining weeks of October and then applying the 40% rule we should see ~11.02M in sales this quarter worldwide and ~4.71M for just NA. But the 40% rule doesn't necessarily apply evenly across regions and with this announcement heavily implying they intend to focus on the North American market you could easily see an increase up to ~5.5M if not more.
So again, its possible, but its not a sure thing.
For those wondering:
Holiday Quarter Sales Estimates
| Console | Wii | PS3 | X360 |
| Worldwide | 11.02M | 5.32M | 4.57M |
| America | 4.71M | 1.96M | 2.20M |
Note that the PS3 outperforms the 360 in this analysis based on the impact of the 40% rule, not any introduced bias on my part. Also note that the American sales are likely to be wildly different because the 40% rule does not cleanly and evenly break down by region, I'm just applying it that way in this instance for a rough approximation.
