Uffff, I don't understand how people can be VP of a great company like Bandai-Namco and make this forecast...

"Bandai Namco Vice President Shin Unozawa shared his prediction with the prominent financial newspaper Sankei Shinbun today, mentioning that he thinks that the console will sell between 300,000 and 500,000 units in Japan before the end of the fiscal year on March 31st.

Unozawa-san also expects it to move 6 million units worldwide by the same deadline."

The numbers don't make any sense. He expects only 700k units sold in 42 days, being 300-500k only in Japan??? Seriously, i don't understand anything...

Wouldn't shock me that the VP of Bandai-Namco knows something that the average Joe does not.  I was surprised to see that the PS4 is still readily available on Amazon JP and that there haven't been many reports of throngs of people lining up for the PS4 in Japan yet when it's now only 15 hours away from the JP launch.

You may want to check Amazon, again, as it is sold out.  You have to add it to your cart for it to say it's no longer available from Amazon.  And the PS4 is going to do at least 300K in its first 2 days, so it's practically impossible for it to only sell that much, or even only 500K, in a month unless stock is not available til April.

@ OP

I'll go with 401K.  And 1M by the end of March.
