500K? Yeah, it should reach that.
People should remember that your prediction for Wii catching 360 was closer than basically anyone's else... Basically about 2 weeks off. Back in March, a lot of people were saying "2008," and end of September at the earliest.
So now when everyone knows the tide has changed, this prediction seems reasonable... When in fact your famous "idiot" prediction was far more accurate than the supposed "reasonable" predictions of 5 months ago...
