Considering the first few days are almost always the hottest, I think it will be 2.5-3 million. |
Except that we're talking about hardware, not software. Games are front loaded, hardware always has a more sustained sell rate, especially heading into the holidays. Look at the 360s, it maintained a high sell rate for 3 months, despite being just a revision, not an entirely new way to game, like Kinect.
