900K is around 1 million. *shrugs*

Shouldn't 1.1 million be around 1 million too? XD
Seriously, I don't think the difference is that much between "around 1 million" and 1 million

Damn. That's one hell of a typo. Hopefully this doesn't affect my standings too much.[PSV] 470k

EEDAR's Doug Creutz has made a fair few predictions including 170,000 Wii's for the month. If you worked for a top end research/analyst firm you'd at least do some minor research, what a shoddy pathetic prediction from him.
Are people mixing Jesse Divnich of EEDAR up with Doug Creutz of Cowen & Company? I don't get it.EEDAR's Doug Creutz has made a fair few predictions including 170,000 Wii's for the month.

There will be meltdowns.
I don't see how.
[360] 1475K
[3DS] 870K
[PS3] 1100K
[PSV] 300K
[WII] 450K
[WIU] 405K
I may have over did it on 3DS
Not meltdowns, no. 'Meltdowns' since we already know what to expect.
Unless Reggie is an even bigger liar than we know.
Wii did 476k first NPD month, WiiU is around 400k. Only the uninformed will have meltdowns. December is the potential meltdown month on the WiiU front, where it needs to sale 604k just to match the Wii's first December.

Posted this in another thread, but here's some NPD software sales I managed to dig up for previous console launches for comparison:I guess Wii U software should be interesting, although the combined SKUs will probably not let any of them show up.
That number was definitely supply constraint problems. If Wii U can't hit over that in December, something went terribly wrong.Wii would easily hit over a million if the supply had been there
True. PS3 sold right under 491k for reference. I don't see it coming close to a million, but I would love to be wrong. 600k is still a healthy number though (IMO).
I don't know about healthy because it's going to drop right after Christmas, so if there is not that much demand in the holidays, it's not going to suddenly get better right after. I think a good number would be 800-900k.
What makes you think that Nintendo will actually ship sth. like 1.4 million consoles from launch till the end of year just to the US? They'll probably ship sth. like 3.5 million till the end of the year worldwide. I really don't see a potential for ~1.4 million sellthrough for the US alone (also considering that a considerable amount of those shipments will be in the channel).
It'll probably be like 1 million for USA/Europe/Japan (maybe a bit more for the US and a bit less for Europa/Japan), with ~300k for the rest of the world and another ~200k in transit (shipped as by the term, but not yet on retail shelves).
Nintendo is suppose to ship 3.5 million worldwide before the end of the year and another 2 million before the end of March 2013. I would imagine that at least 1.5 million of those 3.5 million units is going to NA, but that is just a guess.

Wii U will not sell as well as Wii in the first few years, at least. Okay to have the meltdowns now, then.
Oh i know it definitely won't. But I do think it should have a better December. Honestly I think the only way meltdowns happen is if Wii U falls below 400k in December.

Yeah meltdowns for much lower than Wii would be expected. Much higher than Wii doesn't really seem likely with supply. (See GameCube, Xbox, PS2, <insert other home consoles> first Decembers.) So it's mediocre with people trying to read too much into too little (e.g. "It was 2K higher/lower than Wii so that means sellout/bomba!") or really low obvious bomba as options pretty much.
I mean, Wii U was selected as the Times best tech at #2! just behind iPhone 5; I really didn't expect that.
Man, if the Vita can't even reach 200k, it's going to have a tough time ever finding relevance.
