| UncleScrooge said: Awesome numbers. The 3DS could actually match the phenomenal DS numbers of 2005 (biggest christmas sales ever for any console by a mile with over 600k units in a single week). Monster Hunter will push additional units. To put the numbers into perspective: Mario Kart DS first week (VGChartz): 232k DS sales during Mario Kart DS launch week: 300k (Mario Kart DS launched a week later in the year than Mario Kart 7) DS sales for the first week of December 2005: 167k |
But the DS had much higher momentum.. (Animal Crossing, MK, 2 Brain Training games, and constant huge sellers... ). Yeah 3DS will have a massive month that's for sure, but i looked at the numbers, and it should be aiming at something more like 1-1.3 million. 1.7 million for December is out of its reach imo.
And btw magnificent numbers for the 3DS! Absolutely magnificent!
