3DS vs PSV 2012 Edition: 3DS 30m or PSV 5m? (Oct 6th: Vita > 3m!)

Forgot about Madden. Guess it did help in the west.

Regarding "Weeks Left", yeah it's pretty much that (Sales Left / Current Week Sales). Not the best indicator of the weeks left, but it shows which of the two is closest to its milestone if weekly sales continue the way they are.

If you tried a 10-week average or something you'd get a more stable prediction. Or even just averaging together the recorded weeks (4 at this point).

3DS 4-week average: 234,862
3DS predicted weeks left: 42.92

Pretty consistent with previous predictions, as 3DS sales haven't fluctuated much in the past few weeks.

Vita 4-week average: 46,639
Vita predicted weeks left: 47.05

Not saying that's more accurate, but it's a bit more dramatic -- that's very close to the 3DS prediction!

 

EDIT: Actually, none of this accounts for holiday boosts. Vita should actually hit 5 mil in about 16 weeks, give or take a few of course, but that's where I'm placing my bets. No clue about 3DS, but I suppose I would guess around the same time.

Good idea! Maybe I will add it next week :)
