Not sure why they are expecting so much from the DS (or maybe so little from the PSP). Right now, the PSP is 117% higher than the DS for the year. Last week it was 221% higher than the DS. Yet they expect it to end the year with being only 54% higher. I do expect the DS to get a bigger boost from the holidays, but I'm not sure if it'll make up that deficit. Especially since they seem to expect the 3DS to really pick up at the end of the year.
Going by MC, the systems are this far away from Famitsu's expectations in absolute numbers
3DS: 1872k
PSP: 1459k
DS: 1121k
PS3: 965k
Wii: 675k
360: 74k
PS2: 16k
Expectations/Current sales
DS: 3.64
Wii: 3.47
PS3: 2.91
3DS: 2.88
PSP: 2.59
360: 2.54
PS2: 1.49 (what?!)
The only way I can see the PS2 prediction being true is if it goes out of production around Fall. If it were to keep selling the same as last week (1,319) it would reach Famitsu's prediction in just over 12 weeks. In comparison it would be just over 102 weeks for the 3DS, or about 107 weeks for the Wii. Actually I'll just do all of them.
Number of weeks to reach goal based on the most recent week of sales.
Wii: 107
DS: 104
3DS: 103
PS3: 70
PSP: 42
360: 27
PS2: 12
Don't read too much into the numbers since they would have been very different last week, but the ranking would be pretty similar.
