Just some more numbers:

02.2011 4th Week: 371,326 Units (3DS Launch)
12.2011 1st Week: 216,350 Units (Mario Kart 7 Release)
08.2011 3rd Week: 214,821 Units (3DS Hardware Price Drop)
03.2011 1st Week: 206,087 Units (Week Following 3DS Launch)
11.2011 1st Week: 128,287 Units (Super Mario 3D Land Release)
08.2011 4th Week: 107,462 Units (Week Following Hardware Price Drop)

As many have said before me, second highest week since launch, and most probably going to be beaten later on this week and will have a shot at 500k for Christmas week. It's already headed with a rampant start!

Mario Kart (Super Famicom, 11/1990): Total 3.82 million units
Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64, 12/1996): First Week 160,363 / Total 1,711,661
Mario Kart Advance (Game Boy Advance, 07/2001): First Week 261,797 / Total 938,175
Mario Kart Double Dash (Gamecube / 11/2003): First Week 179,230 / Total 825,894
Mario Kart DS (Nintendo DS / 12/2005): First Week 224,411 / Total 3,837,894
Mario Kart Wii (Wii, 04/2008): First Week 608,147 / Total 3,279,183
Mario Kart 7 (3DS, 12/2011): First Week 451,932

As for MK7, well that's the second highest debut for a MK series. It should reach 1.5 million by the end of December if not more.

SM3D Land also seems like it's holding well right before the holiday rises which bodes well..

As for MH3G prediction week, I'd say around 300k, maybe a shot at 350? Not sure really and it all depends on the MH boost which should be around 50-60k, as well as the holiday boost vs week after MK7 drop. But since momentum is on the 3DS's side, I'd go for 250-300k next week!
