Considering it's looking way down in Japan, I'd say 8m or so sounds about right tbh.

that would be aweful honestly. and if that really happens 3DS would end at around 60 million, probably 70 tops. 

Down nearly 50% in Japan. If Nintendo don't do something they'll see it drop from 5m in 2013, to 2.5m in 2014. US like I said is trending for 3m, and Europe probably on par with that as they're very similar. It's certainly doing under 10k and isn't likely to sustain that.

It's crazy but the 3DS is already winding down.

When you consider that PS3, 360, Wii, DS and PSP in the same year of their lifespan all did more than 10m, it really shows you that 3DS isn't doing that well.

effect of the very early price cut.  they slashed one third of its price just after six months, sales became front loaded and it killed off the possibility of any meaningful price cute down the line. once you hit a sub 200$ price range, any price cut probably wont have the same effect. at least, just one of my theories. add to that the explosing of smartphones, and no new IPs that really did huge numbers in sales.
