I know that it was well over a decade ago, but does anyone remember what the PS2's first week sales were? Is my prediction that that PS4 will sell 6.5 million in its first week too high or too low?


6.5 is probably over 600% too high.  Even if they had 6.5 to sell, which they wont, they wouldnt push their entire stock the first week.  A more realistic first week prediction would be between 600k to 1.5 mil.  

It seems like you are thinking there will be no supply problems at all.  When a console launches, deman always far exceeds supply.  Both the x1 and ps4s sales for the first 3 to 6 months will be based pretty much enitrely on how much consoles they can make, not how many people want them.  If you are predicting the x1 launch to be 1/6th of the ps4 launch, you are going to be wrong.
