The poll options could stand to be a little more open. I went with maybe, simply because I don't have complete confidence in it not reach 6 million (though at this point I'd probably be willing to bet money on it not reaching that high)

There's 17-18 weeks before June hits (4 weeks in a month, 4 months, and one to two weeks thrown in at the end to make up for three of those months having more than just 28 days), which means it'd need to sell roughly 150K per week in order to reach 6 million by June. Weekly numbers for the X-Box One are already significantly below 100 K weekly (assuming VGChartz is to be trusted, which, to be fair, is a big assumption). Titanfall would have to be an absolutely massive boost in terms of pushing consoles for the One to reach 6 million.

Yup your analysis is pretty much spot on. I think there is a total of 19 weeks before June so yeah an average of 150K would be needed for the Xbox One to reach the goal. I'm not saying it possible but people seem to think it's a given! There are plenty of reasons why the console could reach 6 million before June. I think the most important one is Titanfall. Maybe we are understimating the impact the game will have. So far pre-orders seem high and I can bet it will have an excellent score. I could see Titanfall becoming the next Call of Duty. There is also other countries the Xbox One need to release on so there's also that.

My prediction is that it won't reach 6M before June but it's not a "given".
