14 million, i see a huge success in Japan, and will sell less than DS did in Europe and NA. Should do pretty good in NA, just not DS level. I only see moderate success in Europe.

Nah, I don't see another redesign happening until 2014 at the earliest.

18m+

New donkey kong by retro zelda pokemon metroid monster hunter 4 dragon quest 7 luigi mansion 2 i think no one can
Fight the 3ds, so up 25m

As if by magic, the post below yours demonstrated a fan getting carried away!

OT: Somewhere around 12-14 million.  Depends how big & long the boost from MonHun 4 is in Japan.

added commas so I don't read "Metroid monster"

I voted 16mil+, I believe that anyone that voted for 3ds to be down yoy is delusional and don't understand the videogame market.
The only reason for last year and this year to be so close is because last year was uncommon for a first year, it had a monster price cut and huge games (Mario kart and 3D Land).

Barely over 6 mil seems kinda impossible, Nintendo would have to not bring any games next year(exception of games we do know, Luigi Mansion,AC new leaf, Fire Emblem) and no bundling and no marketing.

With all this i stated above it seems like just the 1st half of year will sell around 4mil, and thats with nintendo not trying and not counting holidays. If this continued intill the years end the worst nintendo would do is 9mil IMO. The library now is decent with major titles a new person would enjoy with a purchase of a 3DS! So if nintendo (why wouldn't it) did try how much you think there going to sell? If they put some big cards on the table they can achieve over 20mil. Over 25 mil seems impossible but as i recall DS had such a huge increase its 3rd year and sold i believe over 26-28mil units!

Should 3DS already get a new model? Like DS lite? Maybe sales will push if something like that happens!

20 mill
