For a comparison, here's the VGC data for some other systems in USA.

	3DS	PsP	X360	Wii	Ps3	DS
Week 1	419,000	408,000	305,000	463,000	139,000	486,000
Week 2	94,000	170,000	82,000	153,000	57,000	171,000
Week 3	70,000	111,000	43,000	111,000	89,000	167,000
Total:	583,000	689,000	430,000	727,000	285,000	825,000

 

500,000 seems about reasonable. It won't have the same impact as the PsP did, and it's obviously no Wii or DS. In between 3DS and X360 definitely does seem the likely spot.

The problem is not reaching 500 thousand right after the 3rd week, the problem is reaching this number and stall, like the japanese sales of the PS Vita

It's much more healthy to have stable good sales than 3 weeks of great sales and then pretty embarassing numbers onwards.

Well, but even with an initial ugly drop it can be too early to tell: look at 3DS and XB360, they had the worst 1st to 3rd week drops, 6:1 and 7:1, but they're currently going quite well in USA.
