Likely too pessimistic, but I have a bad feeling about this.

I hope to Miyamoto your way off :-/

I'd appreciate that as well. In the end, this really is a guess.

Hardware jumps with new software are relatively simple to predict. With new software and a price cut, it becomes even tougher. Add in a new hardware package to the mix, and it becomes almost impossible to estimate with any real accuracy.

I think we could see a 100% increase over the rough baseline due to the price and bundling, with another 20% on top of that by virtue of the software itself. I don't see WPU moving much hardware on its own, and I think there's too much competition in the market right now for the package to nudge numbers up as high as seen elsewhere.
