So... They projected that they were going to sell THAT many 3DS' to be sold in the fiscal year? 18 MILLION? Don't get me wrong, this year had some of the best ever 3DS releases (Pokemon, Zelda) but 18 million is ridiculously high, has any console ever sold that much in a year? They were predicting a new record or what? And this is comming from a guy that bought 3 limited edition 3DS' this year just because I could...

Wii U prediction was more reasonable at the time (in my opinion), I'm guessing these predictions were made early last year at the time when 'anything is possible!' and they expected the Wii U to pick up and start selling reasonably well, which didn't happen until the holidays rolled around...


Well as that's is a shipment figure for there financial year 1st April to 31st March.

They have done over 18 million in 4 years with the DS and over 17 million twice with the GBA and once with the DS also the Wii sold over 18 million in 3 years.
