I would say under a million this year is "mega-bomb" for a production like DR2. And honestly, sales on those level wouldn't surprise me. |
Under a million this year? Wanna make a-...

...Nah, no bet.
Nintendo (and maybe Sony) will information coming at 2-3 AM ET July 29 it looks like. Put up an article with shipment estimates for the quarter.

Ubisoft (preliminary) data for Apr-June 2010:

So...I think the Japanese 3DS release date is coming on July 29 with Nintendo's earnings report.
Reasons
1) DS probably won't do more than 24-25m in FY 3/2010. To hit 5-6m 3DS has to launch somewhere in 2010...and that somewhere is likely to be Japan.
2) With a 2010 launch in Japan Nintendo has limited venues at which to announce a release data and build awareness. E3 has passed. Earnings results for July-Sept don't arrive until early November. TGS is in the fall. Gamescom is Europe/ western focused. That leaves the July 29 earnings release.
3) Nintendo said more info about launch timing and 3DS pricing would come after E3 2010.
4) DS models had 10-20% price cuts in Japan recently.

Good reasoning on the 3DS launch. I'm looking forward to those financials. Have Rockstar announced when their's will be?
Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4
More Ubisoft info:
Top Third Parties for Jan-June 2010
Europe
1) (Publisher - probably EA)
2) Ubisoft
USA
1) (Publisher "probably EA, Take Two, or Activision")
2) (Publisher " ")
3) (Publisher " ")
4) Ubisoft
Nintendo is of course above Ubisoft in both regions, but that still puts Ubisoft at third overall in Europe for the first half of 2010 - pretty impressive. Sony is likely right behind in fourth. Can't see Ubisoft maintaining this next year though unless Just Dance 2 is also a big, long-selling hit.

EDD revenue increased reflecting an increase in Xbox 360 platform and PC game revenue and increased revenue from the non-gaming portion of the business. Xbox 360 platform and PC game revenue increased $228 million or 30%, primarily reflecting increased Xbox 360 consoles sold and increased Xbox LIVE revenue, partially offset by decreased revenue per console. We shipped 1.5 million Xbox 360 consoles during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, compared with 1.2 million Xbox 360 consoles during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2009. Non-gaming revenue increased $115 million or 23%, primarily reflecting increased sales of Windows Embedded device platforms.

EDD revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010 included a favorable foreign currency exchange impact of $52 million.

EDD operating loss increased primarily reflecting increased operating expenses, offset in part by increased revenue. Cost of revenue increased $251 million or 38% primarily from charges resulting from the discontinuation of the KIN phone and increased royalty costs resulting from increased Xbox LIVE digital marketplace third-party content sales. Sales and marketing expenses increased $73 million or 29% primarily due to increased Xbox 360 platform marketing activities. Research and development expenses increased $48 million or 10%, primarily reflecting increased third-party development and programming costs and increased headcount-related expenses.

Xbox 360 platform and PC game revenue decreased $12 million, primarily reflecting a reduction in Xbox 360 consoles sold and revenue per console, offset in part by increased Xbox LIVE revenue.

EDD operating income increased due to reduced operating expenses.

Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
