I'm thinking just shy of 6 million by year end worldwide.

November NPD has to be north of 300k, it's gotta be otherwise this is just a full on disaster. I think sales in Japan and Europe will be soft this holiday, so the US has to pick up some of the slack. 

US will be 50% of sales this holiday (if not more) so 300k NPD is a 600k November, that's like 4.5m LTD. December would need to be 1.5m

You nerd. And seeing that your prediction is matching with most other predictions: you conservative nerd. Predict at least more cocky, something like e*e million.

e*e sadly isn't happening, and now I'm doubting even tau is. I'm switching my prediciton to 2^(tau/e) :(

I think tau million is still possible, but it might be difficult. Really hard to predict what will happen this christmas. I only fear, if the WiiU don't get somewhat good sales on christmas, it will be mostly over, just like the second year for the Vita didn't was better. There will not happen some magic turnaround.

Oh I love my wii u and really hope it sells a bajillion, but week after week its sales have failed to have a large boost.

However I do believe next year could be a turn around year. Mario Kart and Smash are very powerful.

I voted for 6,5 mil.

Maybe it is too much, but i have faith in the holydays. Let's see how many consoles SM3DW can move in the end of november and it will be possible to know more about december.

Let's hope Reggie shows something really good at the VGX and Nintendo Direct next month.

7 million is becoming harder to reach, but it hasn't become impossible, yet. BF and November WW total sales will really tell us more at least about short term.

6 weeks to go!!

Black Friday week will be exciting for all consoles, I wonder what kind of stock the other two will have?
