I don't think the Wii will break the PS2's record to be honest. 2.6 million is my guess.

You are insane.

:-p

How so? So far, The Wii has sold less than 500k in december in the US. It has 3,5 weeks left. Next week will be its best week, probably selling around 750k. That makes 1.35m. 3rd week will be around 600k, and the last 4 days will be around 250k. That makes for a total of 2.2 million. So in fact, I even think 2.6 million is a tad too high.

2.5 million maybe, but certainly not more than that. I can't believe any sane person would think it has any chance to sell 4 million in 4,5 weeks in the US.

 

In all fairness, VGChartz just increased its weekly estimate for this week which makes it just a bit less than 600k (americas) for this week. Best week last year it sold 750k in the americas, and I think that it could best that by at least 50%, given supply, this year. All other numbers equal, and you're at least looking at 400k plus your prediction.

Yes. I just predicted at least one 1 million plus week in the americas. Crazy, I know.

Besides, we're looking at the NPD numbers, so what NPD will report for december is the real measure here. Not that I know if that will change anything or not.
