Not arguing with anything you said, but you need to adjust your definition of "great" if being ahead of the DS in aligned LTD sales 102 weeks after launch doesn't fit it. Seeing as 102 weeks after the DS's launch places it in November of 2006, well after the Lite and NSMB releases. |

Considering this is ending Sept 9th for the US and Oct 15th for Japan, the gap is likely to grow much wider over the next few months. By the end of the holiday season, Japan added another ~2.6 million, roughly averaging 223k a week. In the US it added over 3 million averaging about 180k a week. In the EU the DS and 3DS launched in roughly the same point in the calendar, so the gap has already started to show there as both systems have had their second holiday.

Sales generally drop about 60% this week in Japan. 40k is probably unrealistic.
