Theatrhytym for the next Media/Famitsu and if nintendo played their cards right something might push it much stronger in weekly sales.

Also Golden Week is coming the following week and everything will see a boost. 

BTW in japan taxes went skyrocketing effecting all hardware, that is why the entire week (and past weeks) have had a huge decline

Edit: Why im confident in 3DS sales wont go under 20k. Only way if it goes below is because of taxes. But overall that seems to have already effected this week and last week by a huge margin

What's to stop it going below 80k these past 2 weeks? 7th - 13th and 14th - 21st? You realise if 3DS does post the drops YOY in US then it's likely gone below 70k right? I'm not really talking about May onwards.

It depends on how much we have it Overtracked (if any). How much does it have to be to even sell less than 70k WW.(talking NPD)

From wat i learned from vgc (US sales) is that no matter wat (unless it looks obvious) dont think its going to be massively overtracked (heck even undertracked) intill NPD shows up. if i recall you were wrong many times by calling out Overtracked on both Nintendo's WiiU/3DS in the past couple of months! (biggest one i remember was Dec NPD for wiiu when in Nov it was overtracked by alot but dec you called Massively Overtracked but it wasnt. *VGC 330k-350k Dec but NPD 460k+)

*Thats cuz for it "looks like it" but then it might not be! Ex Feb/March looked like overtracked months for 3ds especially Feb after vgc overtracked it by 60k

Edit: In order for under 70k WW this week the rest of the world needs to sell over 49k.... I dont think thats the case at all. If it doesn't this week then it wont be under 70k

Get that ruby/sapphire/emerald remake out and all will be well

Well it wouldn't surprise me, it's down quite a dangerous amount from last year which wasn't that great to begin with considering it was the peak year for the system. The 3DS in it's 4th year is doing about as well as the DS was in it's 8th year.

it won`t. I think 80~90k minimum

I'd be surprised if its weekly sales dropped THAT much. I suspect it's almost at its nadir in Japan, and it should be steady and even see small upticks in the West. But it will come fairly close in the near future.

Maybe 2 or 3 times this year.

damn right, japan will make sure of that starting this week
