8.5 million in the next 6 months is nuts.

6 million though, that's manageable. Not sure why you guys are so insistent that Iwata is on drugs (or should be) because of that number. Wii U sales are close behind the 360 for the past few weeks, and unlike the 360, the Wii U has several major exclusives coming in the next 6 months.

6 mil through the next two quarters isn't exactly a sure thing, but it's realistic. 8.5 mil... that's very optimistic. Probably too optimistic. It doesn't mean Iwata should be committed, though.

360 shipped 1.2m this past Q, WiiU 300k. Wiiu is 1/4 the 360.

Wii U was 1/4 the 360, before its price cut, in the quarter GTAV was released. Take a peek at the weekly.
