The gap increase pace seems to slowdown.
It does decrease but with 50 to 60k a week it still is growing quite fast. The pace increase for now seems similar as month 1 and 2 after launch. Though if Xbox could get a 130k baseline that would be great. Since it would sell 6.75 million exclusing the holidays. If you include a moderate holiday boost you would be looking at 10 to 11 million Xbox sold, depending on the stock.
