Just about every analyst that has released a report on December's data pegs the total software sales at somewhere between 2.1 and 2.5 billion. We'll go with a nice median and assume it did 2.3 Billion.
Assuming an average cost/game at $60/piece, that means in total you only have about 3.75 million units for all software sales put together.
We know that the top sellers are Assassin's Creed, Mario Galaxy, CoD4, Guitar Hero III, Rock Band, and SmackDown Vs Raw 2008 as well.
Are we going to assume that out of all of those major games, over 50% of all games sold in December were Call of Duty 4? Something sounds fishy to me about that, especially if We're Predicting 1 Million Mario Galaxy Sales as well.
