Is the question not a bit premature? Before E3, we'd simply be basing our estimates on assumptions with more rumors than facts

Assuming it will release in mid november, which seems to be the rumor, I would say an even 2 million.

2-2.5 mil. The launch line-up will be great, but the higher price will result in lower sales than the Wii had.

1.9 Million

1.5m

I don't see it selling close to the Wii.

I think this is premature. You have nothing to really base it on yet. I won't even make this prediction until after E3 when we actually know its details and game line-up. But it probably won't be the worst on that OP list or the best.

Assuming WW release with 8 weeks to go (Black Friday) and no supply issues:

W1- 580k
W2- 290k
W3-280k
W4- 370k
W5- 430k
W6- 480k
W7- 360k
W8-270k

Total- 2.4-2.6mil

It's hard to make a guess taking into consideration that we don't know neither release date not the price. But in the actual situation, price will be more important.

With that in mind, I'm afraid that I'm going to be the pessimistic one.

Launching at 300 $/€ it might sell 1.2 mil.

Launching at 350 $/€ it might sell 1.0 mil or less.

We need to factor in two different issues - which no one have brought yet: the economic status, which is in a bad shape if you look back to 2006, which might have än impact on sales. On the other hand we haven't had new hardware for SIX years! Gamers will go nuts for sure - but we Can't expect 3 million copies sold in 6 weeks...

I'm saying 1,5 m åt the moment - but come e3 and I might have to change that number...
