wow 250k just for gamestop. I figured ~500k for NA launch overall... but if Gamestop is 250k, then Walmart has to be >250k. Then you still have Bestbuy, Target, ToysRUs, Sears/Kmart, and that's just the pre-orders. What about the units that will be available on launch day for those that line up?

If they only plan on selling 5.5m from Nov18th to March31, then I can't see them having more than 3.5m avail for 2012. Then 2m for Q1 2013.

So, how would they support each territory? 1.5m NA, 1m EU, 1m Japan? 1m at launch for NA? Seems too low if Gamestop is getting 25% of that.

I'm just thinking out loud here, what do you all think?

Didn't BenV say Gamestop have like an 80% share of pre-orders in America?

Really? I figured Walmart would have the most. Well, that makes more sense then.
