600K is pretty damn good and more than I expected. I suspect he meant "sold to retailers" (i.e. shipped) rather than sold to consumers.

That's still a good number.

Funny how they are going to try and mimic the Wii Sports Resort theme with 'tropical'. I wonder if they are also going to include M+ support.
