You have to keep in mind that first week sales for a console are not a good indication of future sales. The hardcore fans will swarm to a system first week. As really if you are going to buy a system at launch you may as well buy it first week as opposed to a little later. You get a huge wave of titles, price isn't going to change etc. The weird launch they are doing where the 15th is a soft launch might mess things up. But I will say whatever Sony ship for the first week that the sales for the first week (or 15th + 22nd with their stupid launch) will likely be sold through or vast majority. So err yea. Whatever their shipment is then 90% or so of that is my guess. |
Well it might not sell through as in totally out of stock a-la Wii or PS2 style... but yeah it will probably sell most of what is shipped.
You should remember though that the shipment is derived from demand... the stores won't let Sony flood their shelves with a million Vitas for the launch, so that first shipment will be based on all sorts of things (pre-ordered figures, various analysts trying to determine demand and Sony's marketing trying to convince stores to buy more)
