How is my minimum better than best ever? Are you refering to the 3DS's first year? If yes, why?

300k weekly with no big releases and outside the holidays would have the 3DS tracking well above the DS, the best selling console ever (bar ps2 which it is basically tied with).   If your minimum expectation for good sales is above the that than i think your expectations are too high.

even with sales highly skewed to japan, if the 3DS can say about 200k all year i'd say that is pretty darn sucessful.

200k * 39 (weeks) = 7.8m; holiday quarter being equal to other nine months of the year > 7.8m * 2 = 15.6m.

300k * 39 = 11.7m; 11.7m * 2 = 23.4m.

The DS used to push about 30m units for three years in a row, so logically its weekly baseline was close to 400k units.

*reviews vgchartz numbers*

okay, i guess i had it in my head DS was around 25M not 30M which is why I was thinking the 300k was basically as good at DS at its best.   also holy crap at the 2010 to 2011 drop.  -57% is huge.
