could he be talking about US only? or globally? because there might be a big difference due to the Japan launch lol.

Or globally in the US, you never know.

So, 100-150k in US. As expected

Realized this is not necessarily true, as all we know from NPD is that the weekly average in December was 172k, not what the highest week was.. So...eh, we won't know this week's numbers but we'll know whole of September eventually

VGC has the highest week at 315k

Seems like the limited supplied Destiny bundle is kicking some asses... so like 150k US and possibly 400k WW?? Sweet.

I'd say that is definitely doable. I mean Japan, where the PS4 isn't doing so hot, got a ~324% increase. If that carries across the world, and VGC's numbers are correct, then that puts the PS4 at ~432K for just the one week WW. So with just 2 weeks of this month, that would put the PS4 at ~566K. Now, the next two weeks won't be as big as this one, BUT they will definitely be larger than the first week. My guess is ~900K-1M for this month WW. Considering the other two might not pull even half of that, that's a stomping.
