And here I am, being stupid as always, saying I doubt the system will sell more than a million units week one

Sure it's gonna be huge and sell crazy numbers but it's not an iPhone or something like that. Selling 700k systems first week in America would be enormous already. I doubt there has ever been a gaming system to sell more than a million units first week in America.

What's the record for first week sales in any console?

Problem is, VGChartz only has data for this generation, and the Ps2. I can fetch those, though.

For Americas:

DS on DSi launch: 565k
DS: 546k
Wii: 529k
PsP: 469k
Ps2: 454k
X360: 350k
Playstation 3: 159k

So a million would be quite a feat.

I second this gentleman's words.

The 3DS is going to break many records. It's going to be a beast.

Depends on how much they ship first week

Rumors indicate that it is planning on following the first approach, sticking a new, motion-sensitive controller onto an existing console. Our perspective is that this is the worst of the three options.

-Clayton Christensen back in 2007 already knew Move would be a bad idea

1m worldwide with launches aligned is a given, if they have a million ready for Americas it could be possible I think.
