The 3ds would have to average over 700k per week for it to even think about reaching 20m for the year. The DS at its peak didnt do them kind of numbers. HINT (DS has two 30m years back to back.) I really do wonder what people are thinking when they make these kind of predictions. |

Take a look at the last 5 months sales numbers. It's not that ridiculous. It really depends on how effective the huge titles that are releasing within these remaining months will have on the hardware sales. I personally think that the 3DS can easily pass 5m sales in December alone. Also, October should be a pretty big month for the 3DS, same for November with One Piece in Japan and Zelda for Europe and North America. With all these titles, it would also be a good incentive for holiday sales. Just saying it's not that bad.
