GAF calculated between 6 and 10K, which is Monster Hunter level. Not bad, but it might be heavily frontloaded like most JRPGs.

I think it might end up a little higher than that. Combined last week bioshock did 19.5k so assuming a drop to 15 combined for this week and fire emblem should be somewhere close to that.

Bioshock was down 43%. Bioshock 360 had an identical share to last week. Using VGC numbers, that would put Fire Emblem between 7,300 and 11,700.

Considering the scale of the hardware boost, I suspect we have been overtracking the 3DS in the UK. Unless the existing install base has just given up on buying games, it doesn't seem likely that a game that sold at most 11.7k would boost hardware to a near identical amount.

You are forgetting the digital sales. I don't know if you read the link with the news, but 31% of all the 3DS XL sales were the bundle with the digital copy, and that digital copy is not counted on the 7,300~11,700 numbers.
