It will sell around the same amount of units as the WiiU at launch but it wont have such a huge drop in hardware sales and will sit around 80k a week for a few months then move up to 150-180k a week once the big titles come out.

Why do you think so? 3rd party support?

There always tends to be a dry spot about a month or so after launch were the titles will just trickle out, most the big 3rd party titles seem to come out once the systems got a decent amount of users. And alot of the 3rd party games will be on ps360 aswell.

The PS4 will launch in October or November - a month or so after that will be the holiday shopping season.  It will slow down in January, but will sell like hotcakes before that.

Yeah I was thinking a november launch, also I forgot to factor in weather the 720 is launching around the same time.

Microsoft's biggest exclusives aren't launching with the Next Xbox.

Halo 4 released in 2012

Gears of War judgement released 2013

That leaves Forza which isn't a system seller. So, Sony has nothing to worry about.

Relatively speaking, Killzone will have a high attach rate. I'm uncertain how Drive Club will do, but if marketed right then it could as well.

All I can predict is that it will reach the 100M units sold at some point.

Driveclub will be a bundled game like motorstom was in 2006. Killzone will be huge if Call of Duty doesn't release in the same time frame.

Deyon, how do you think Knack will do? I'm curious.:)
