Depends how long Nintendo continue to sell it. Average Nintendo console stays on the shelf for 5 Years.

Except that Kinect was already dropped in the 8th month. I think you can probably see how much that helped.

1.) Microsoft said that they 'almost' shipped 10 million by that date.
2.) This graph shows Xbox One sales until September, not November.
3.) Xbox One is at 5 million at the end of September, not 4 million.

so in 1 month and 10 days they sold 8-8.5 million? still doesn't add up.
