Doom!

Oh wait you're just looking at the numbers and making an informed prediction? Carry on.

Making a prediction based off of 2Q worth of shipments and then calling 3Q a full fiscal year and then comparing these 3quarters to full fiscal years is indeed a very informed prediction my good friend.

I'm not saying he's correct, but yes it's an informed prediction.

It is indeed an informed prediction when he is using comparing and using the wrong data.

How funny. Shipments from Nintendo are wrong, figures from VGC where they overtracked the 3DS in Nov in the US 400k+ are accurate.

You're comparing the wrong data. You're comparing 2Q of their fiscal year and then you're saying that they need to ship another 9m+ units before the end of december. Their FY ends on the 31st march. 

To give you an idea, they usually ship around 8M 3DS systems in their 3rd quarters (going with FY 13 and 12). They will most certainly surpass their shipments of FY 13. 

EDIT: Might have read the OP wrong, but my point still stands that 3DS will easily surpass 15M units.

What?! Calendar year dude, calendar year. I count 3 Q's in the OP, and use sold through data and my predictions to come up with a range for Q4, Obviously you disagree with those predictions, that's fine. We'll see in January. If they ship under the previous 2 years, then to investors and anything/one that matters, they're down YoY. What is shown here is largely irrelevent.
