It's not the same this year though. 3DS performed very poorly last year so it had no where to go but up really. I do think it might get a 1 million/week streak the whole of December.

I disagree. The 3DS had nothing driving its sales last December, and Black Friday came a week earlier, which should theoretically result in a greater chance for a "cooling off" period before the Holiday really kicks into gear. Zelda alone is a bigger Holiday release than Paper Mario was, and in Japan the 3DS has a big lineup for December, which should result in great hardware sales for the month.

It's possible that the 3DS will decline globally next week, but by how much? It's also possible that it's overtracked, but again, by how much?

I think it's pretty clear that the answer to both of those questions is "not enough." Not enough to prevent the console from averaging 1 million per week for the next four weeks.

And if it is NOT overtracked, or does NOT decline? We're going to have a good laugh at those saying 15-16 mil was unpossible.


Thing is I still think it's overtracked in Europe even though they adjusted it upwards which was strange.
