What will Wii U numbers for February be like?

35k?

Four week month, right?

Eh, I say 40-45k.

Considering Fist of the North Star is the only release in February, and it won't have the holiday tail, I'd say that is optimistic.  If we scale VGC's weekly numbers to NPD's total we see 56% of the sales happened in the first two weeks.  The other 44% were pretty evenly split in the last three.  If we use the 55k, that means 24.2k in the last three weeks or less than 8.1k per week.  Even if that holds for February, we are only looking at 32.3k.

Good points. Still, color me an optimist!
