Last month: 183,000 NPD / 136,000 VGChartz
So, no.
Games are hitting: they do every month
Madden is hitting: OK, +20k, but selling to existing audiences mainly
Price drop: Not extraordinary, +50k
Elite: Elite sales are not the core market. They probably make up 10% of all sales max due to poor value.
So, I predict 250k as an upper limit on NPD, and a more realistic 200k from VGChartz.
