That's what if's on top of speculation on top of what if's though. We don't have any data to make any of these judgements, determine actual sales, break even, profitability, etc - positively or negatively about the sales. Just week 1 numbers.

Part of the pointlessness of even bringing it up outside of sourced reports, earnings data and NPD speculation.
