If will have the GC legs... if will have the DS legs, will sell more than 50 million.


Hard to say, the WiiU's first year and a half were the Sahara Desert of game releases. We're already running up YoY on hardware and software, which really skews the expectations as you would expect the later years to down tick not up tick YoY.

It's most likely going to have GC legs with some addendums on patterns, as in it will reach peak later than when the GC did, so we'd have to adjust slops initially and overtime but expect similar results by the end.

Becausa this numer don't include launch year, and because the number are rounded.
