PS3 also had GT5 launch during BF week last year, did that come with bundles?

I'm pretty sure there were some in Canada. Don't recall for US. GT5 actually pulled batshit numbers in Canada first week, like over 200k not including bundles.

Anyway, OT. Really hard to predict this year, particularly for Wii which had Donkey Kong release that week as well. Nintendo boosts during the holidays are always much bigger, but so far this year that doesn't seem to be holding true, at least not in the lead-up to things. Both HD consoles will be available for the magic $200 and we'll probably be seeing huge numbers for both. But then again Wii will be available for $99 for the first time ever if I'm not mistaken. Nintendo will need to claim a YOY victory if they want to even have a hope of getting close to their projection. My prediction:

360: 725k
PS3: 525k
Wii: 675k

:Edit: Actually there were GT5 bundles, but only in Best Buy with the purchase of a Bravia TV.

Well my Wii number looks good depending on how much it sold prior to BF. Like I said, people in this thread majorly underestimated the power of a $99 Wii. Let's wait and see what the other 2 reveal.

:edit: Well based on the site's preview it would appear that I overestimated both PS3 and 360. Let's see how NPD shakes out.
