I have seen you post rarely recently so I don't know if you just lurk alot more now but do you know there are people out there that think the Wii U can sell 6mil before Nov? There are multiple people too. That would mean 112k a week starting right now. They will probably be a good 2 mil away

I hadn't seen that prediction.  It doesn't seem very realistic.  Over 3 million in less than seven months when the previous three only did 657k (VGC numbers).  Especially when it'll probably be around another two months before the next notable software release.  If it only averaged 40k until June, it would require 126-132k (depending on what date you choose as the cutoff) per week after that point.  It would need to outperform 360 numbers last year in the same period.

Maybe if Nintendo made a significant price cut, but I don't think that or the system selling software will come soon enough to influence that figure.

There are 2 notable posters who believe it. I won't call them out here but I've tried to crunch numbers with them to show them how unlikely it is. They just wont give it up.
