I remember the PS2 launch and at 500K there were massive shortages. If Sony can have more than that available I could see them all being sold first week.

Can anyone get the worldwide numbers for each console first week?
I just realized my 500k in the OP was from NPD, so USA only.

US FW? Maybe. It won't follow up anywhere near as well as the other systems, though.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Hmmm, no. The DS and PS2 were in my mind anomalies, I don't see any console repeating that. Not to mention they were launched at a time when the economy was far better, Apple was not in the mobile gaming space as yet (considering casuals saw $299 as attractive back then), and the Xbox was not even a brand at the time.
I would be surprised if it did. Also the wii could not do it, so no.

Wii was under-hyped at release. And it shows. It holds every other record. Biggest December. Biggest single non-holiday week. Biggest total week.
