Nintendo thinks 4 million 3DS will sell in a month, and 15 million games.

I think 3DS is not only going to ship 4 million WW first month, it is going to SELL 4 million WW first month (and more if there are enogh supplies). Those people who say such numbers don't make sense forget that when not supply constrained, the Wii sold in one month a record breaking 3.8 MILLION IN THE US ALONE. Yes it was the holidays and March isn't, and yes it was a somewhar different price level, but we are talking here about the next big hyped thing, glasses less 3D. People are brainwashed day and night about 3D, and suddenly you have this handheld that enables glasses less 3D gaming...

All this on the assumption that someone like Apple doesn't one-up them by coming out with a similar device (as far as the 3D) around launch. Then all bets are off, because a lot of their thunder will be stolen. It will still sell well to gamers (after all Apple wont have the same games), but not by the same amount.

As to 15 million games, I can see that but only shipped, not sold. No way most people will go to such an expense as buying the 3DS and also buy 4 3DS games on that same launch month...
