Whoa, does this mean the One has a chance to pull ahead of Wii U's LT sales with Destiny and other third party titles coming this holiday?

That is simply inevitable.

normal number... 8 million by end of year.

I'd say around 7-7.5 million. You really think they can sell 3 million in 5 months?

Third party games will provide it a boost, but the PS4 will be taking most of it, so that won't help too much. MCC+aggressive Holiday bundles will get it over the Wii U's LT (or at least, they should). Only way I'm buying an X1 this year is a $299 MCC bundle, which doens't seem too unlikely now... if they don't do it, I'll just wait a couple months for another price cut.

Should be no problem there will be some very good holiday bundles and deals.

If one month is December: YES.

only 3000 MORE... this is point.



I would be VERY surprised if they hit 7 million by year's end. If they are just NOW moving through all of the consoles they pushed into the channel, it doesn't speak well for their chances going forward. They are back to doing under 40,000/week in the US, well below PS4, even after the TEMPORARY sales bump due to the lower cost.  Also, they are going to be SLAUGHTERED in September, when Destiny releases.
