I realize that, nothing will ever be a 1:1 ratio. Thing is, that amount is negligible, along with claims like "devil's third is going to move units." Although technically that statement holds up if devil's third moves at least 2 units, it is implied that devil's third was supposed to move a LOT more units for that phrase to mean what we wanted it to mean.

Also, your earlier estimate of moving 50k units is really high. Again, there is no incentive for buying a wii u for minecraft. You're better off buying a ps3 for cheaper to play minecraft. High software sales =/= High hardware sales


50k is high, why?  Also, you reference a 1:1 ratio when you say "buying a wii u for minecraft".  Did you mean to phrase this differently?

let me rephrase: people buying minecraft on the wii u does not imply that those people would buy a wii u for minecraft. It isn't a 1:1 ratio, instead for every 1,000,000 people that buy minecraft for the wii u, there is 1 person who will buy a wii u for minecraft. That ratio is too small to claim that "minecraft will move hardware."

Yes, I do believe 50k is to high. Once again, there is no incentive for buying a wii u for minecraft. If someone wanted to buy a console for minecraft, they are better off buying a cheaper ps3. I estimate minecraft to move less than 5k units of wii u hardware.
