I don't think Nintendo even shipped 600k, so some of you will be disappointed I think

When can we expect numbers?

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Maybe ...

All I know for sure was the system was sold out (pretty much) everywhere early on Sunday, people started reporting it being in stock in large numbers on Wednesday for Black-Friday sales, and it was mostly sold out again by mid friday. Looking at Black Friday last year, the XBox 360, 3DS, Wii, and PS3 all sold over 800,000 units that week all of them seeing 2x to 3x their previous weeks sales; and even the "dead" Nintendo DS sold 340,000 units that week.

I agree 100% that it is unlikely that Nintendo shipped much more than 600,000 units for day one but the second shipment creates a lot of uncertainty to how many units they sold.
