So, this is my very first thread that I shall be authoring for this site. So to start out with a bang, I decided to take all the sales data from the top 40 3DS games according to VGChartz, do a little bit of math, and estimate where all of those games will be at in terms of sales figures by the end of the year.
(Note: This will not include the week where the end of December 2015 and beginning of January 2016 take place in the same week.)
So with that said. Here are the my estimations of what I believe the sales figures for the top 31 best selling Nintendo 3DS games, according to VGChartz, will be by the end of the year of 2015!

Now these figures are entirely hypothetical and are strictly my estimations based on the math that I've done. Most of these figures could very easily be either waay overtracked, or waay undertracked, or some may be close, but not quite there, and some may be right on the money. Only time will tell.
But in the mean time, let's all just enjoy it! :)

Bolded is for games released this year.
Italicized is for games that have reached or surpassed my predictions.
