2011: 547,000, 2012: 2,311,000 - The 547k is for NGP in Japan. I think in 2012, 411k will account for the Wii 2 and 1.9m for the NGP

Don't you even THINK that M.U.G.E.N.  I want it to stay in production small scale forevarrrr! 

Also, the second they announce discontinuation, I'm going to buy one.  Has to be done.  I will give PS2 a proper salute at the end.

Not sure why they are expecting so much from the DS (or maybe so little from the PSP).  Right now, the PSP is 117% higher than the DS for the year.  Last week it was 221% higher than the DS.  Yet they expect it to end the year with being only 54% higher.  I do expect the DS to get a bigger boost from the holidays, but I'm not sure if it'll make up that deficit.  Especially since they seem to expect the 3DS to really pick up at the end of the year.

Going by MC, the systems are this far away from Famitsu's expectations in absolute numbers

3DS: 1872k
PSP: 1459k
DS: 1121k
PS3: 965k
Wii: 675k
360: 74k
PS2: 16k

Expectations/Current sales

DS: 3.64
Wii: 3.47
PS3: 2.91
3DS: 2.88
PSP: 2.59
360: 2.54
PS2: 1.49 (what?!)

The only way I can see the PS2 prediction being true is if it goes out of production around Fall.  If it were to keep selling the same as last week (1,319) it would reach Famitsu's prediction in just over 12 weeks.  In comparison it would be just over 102 weeks for the 3DS, or about 107 weeks for the Wii.  Actually I'll just do all of them.

Number of weeks to reach goal based on the most recent week of sales.

Wii: 107
DS: 104
3DS: 103
PS3: 70
PSP: 42
360: 27
PS2: 12

Don't read too much into the numbers since they would have been very different last week, but the ranking would be pretty similar.

PS2 in 2012 = 0? noo...PS2 will never DIEEEE *RunsAwayWithEyesFullOfTears*

To me, it looks something like this:

Nintendo DS 2011: 1.25m 2012 750k
Nintendo 3DS 2011: 2.75m 2012: 3.5m
 
PlayStation Portable 2011: 2.5m 2012: 1.5m
 
Wii 2011: 900k 2012: 550k
 
PlayStation 3
2011: 1.35m 2012: 1m
 
Xbox 360 Irrelevant
 
PlayStation 2 Even more irrelevant
 
Next Generation - What the heck? How can this be lower than 3DS alone? Not understanding the definition here.
I don't know why they're being so conservative about next generation consoles and PSP in 2012, yet so optimistic about PS3.

Heh, Jarrod predicted that PS3 would only sell 9 million lifetime. Famitsu thinks it will do it by the end of 2012. I still say 13 million has an outside chance of happening.
