Okay... 10,000,000 divided by 52 is 192,307.

So, it's not completely impossible, but not even the original DS grew by 10 million in a single year in Japan (If it did and my memory has forsaken me, please correct me). But, I'd say 7 or 8 million is more realistic, if not somewhat unlikely. If Iwata unveils a 3DS Lite, or there's a price drop, or both, then all bets are off. But it sold 5.5 million in Japan in 2012 and it was considered to have exceeded expectations, so let's not hold our breath for something more than 7 or possibly 8 million.

It's going to be 3DS's biggest year, for sure, but probably not 10-million big.
