I think Wii will do alot higher than 300k since Wii U will be nowhere to be found on store shelves during Black Friday sales, and also because of all the people still confused as to whether or not Wii U is a brand new console or yet another peripheral for the Wii.

Other than that, everything else in OP seems right on the money... maybe the original DS sales will be a bit lower but that's about it.

When is Black Friday? ? :)
2 friends of mine want to buy the PS3 Super Slim soon, especially. Because the One Piece and RPG Tales of Graces F Ni No Kuni, and because (the prettiest and most amazing RPG this generation, quite objectively ^ ^) in January comes to Black Friday offers perfectly.

360 will decimate this holiday season in the US. I didn't realize the gap was so high last year. Maybe the 3ds can give it worthy competition with the new xl model and NSMB 2, but even then, the 3ds has been underselling the 360 in the US for some while. 3ds could very well win worldwide this year though. I want to see what bundles are offered for 360 and 3ds this year.

Every time a new console launches, it still gets beaten by the current gen. Possibly due to shortages. Possibly due to the lack of an established library. Anyway, Black Friday is always huge in North America and this is 360 territory. I suspect that, in terms of home consoles sales it will go:

360 ( 800,000 with Kinect hype dying down)
PS3 (510,000)
Wii U (500,000)
Wii (100,000)

And with portables:

3DS (500,000-800,000)
PSV (70,000)
DS (60,000)
PSP (30,000)

Now would be a good time for me to say that I'm REALLY bad at this and that I just pulled these numbers out of my ass.

I have a hard time believing that Nintendo will have that many units available by Black Friday.  Black Friday (November 23) is the day after Thanksgiving and the Wii U launches on November 18th.  Every Wii U they produce between launch and Christmas is going to sell but it's going to be hard to find one on that particular day.
