No chance in hell. The 3DS is at 5.2m for the year so far. It has 5 months to get 14.8m extra sales.

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.


So what are you willing to say? Much less or a lot less?

I dont see it getting by 20m at all. Its gonna be far behind that. I aint going to make a prediction yet because I have not calculated the numbers. Off of my head i would say 14m. I aint really looked at the numbers to make a yearly prediction myself. From the info i know i would say 14-15m. If things work out good.


I would say 14-15m would be playing it safe.  Easily 4-6m in December.  If we go with 4m in December, 2m in November, that's already 6m.  11.2m  October should at least get 700k sales for pokemon and Monster Hunter 4 (and I would say 700k is undershooting the sales majorly for October).  You now are at nearly 12m.  You still have August and September.  500k each, that's 13m.  Do you really think that 1-2m over pretty much the minimum logical answer is "If things work out good"?  I think you should at least revise 2m higher.
