Pent up demand from people wanting something that isn't the Wii U, first 6-8 weeks should be massive. This is why I don't understand those who think it'll sell only a few million for the entire CY. First shipment will disappear right away, the real question is what happens after the dust has settled and slow season sets in, that's the real test.

I really think that's why they have a few releases they could probably front load with spread out over the first few months. Seems like they have Mario Kart dropping about the second those initial sales might slow, and they continue in that manner throughout the year.

Yeah, starting off well means nothing unless there's something keeping the momentum going. Once things slow down, they can be hard to get up to speed again, as we should all know after the beginning of the Wii U's life.
