Mario Kart will be like DKC last year - won't decline below a huge level (100k-200k) until the holidays start to end in Japan. With Monster Hunter next week, and Mario Kart still selling quite well, and seasonality, the 3DS should roughly trace the DS path in late 2005 / late 2006 / late 2007 in Japan selling anywhere from 400,000 - 600,000 units in its best week or two of the year. Monster Hunter alone should be a 50-100k boost, and the 3DS would be up at least 50k next week anyway. Could easily be 350,000 - 400,000 for Monster Hunter week. Still doubtful about 3DS getting to 16m in the fiscal year though.
