Its on track to sell better than the DS, so I`m gonna be the wild card and say 165m.  


Do you have a link with the data for this?  I've been trying to find a comparison.  I suppose I could just break out a calculator, but I am lazy...

I just used the hardware tools on VGC, when I said that though I took into consideration that Pokemon has yet to be released on the console.  If you look at the starting sales of the DS and 3DS they are nearly identical, but I think Pokemon and the 2DS are gonna push the 3DS way over the DS.



better than DS
