both will have atleast 1 week under 100k. i wonder whats the lowest the wii will fall to. 10k?

Absolutely no way is the 3DS gonna drop below 100k now the XL will be hitting next week in Japan. That alone should sell over 100k until its launched WW... And the Wik won't fall below 40k this year. It's stabilized. That's as likely as the Vita falling below 15k.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Crap, I accidentally put Yes. xD

OT: I agree for the most part. PS3 might drop a tad below it though.

Don't see anything to halt the dropping of sales in the foreseeable future so I reckon PS3 might dip below it with 3DS staying just above.

How do you factor in New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Demon training in this prediction? The 3DS will soar very shortly, you'll be stargazing.

I say the PS3 won't go below 100k. For the PS3 to go below 100k, it's weekly sales would have to drop 20k between now and the Slim release. I don't see that happening considering that for the past two years, sales for the PS3 have never dipped 20k between a normal July week and the start of the holiday surge.
