0 chance. It needs to sell 700,00 each week post-Black Friday for that to happen.

Wanna bet on that one with me? You seem so convinced that it has absolutely no chance to achieve 15M+ in sales for 2013 so you have nothing to lose! 3months sig control.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Only 900k weekly average, tbone? I think it will average over a million weekly. All of its Holiday sales are crammed into 5 weeks.

Last year, Black Friday was the 3DS's third-highest week of hardware sales, with the two weeks of and before Christmas exceeding it. If that's the case again this year, we can expect to see two of the next four weeks have over 700k in NA alone.

For Europe, Black Friday didn't cause a 'peak' at all last year. The 3DS increased in hardware sales for 4 consecutive weeks after Black Friday, dropping the week of Christmas. The story is similar in Japan, and I know you're aware of what kind of December we can expect from the 3DS in Japan.

So even if the 3DS was overtracked by 100k-200k in NA and Europe for Black Friday, I think we'll see over 4 million 3DS sales the next 4 weeks. If it was overtracked by 400k like SOME PEOPLE seem to think, yeah maybe it'll only average 300k weekly or whatever.

there are 5 weeks left! Week of Dec 30th - Jan 5th is the final week of 2013! Also i put in the op 11mil just so there aren't any surprises for us (overtracked)!

 

An avg of 800k will put it at 15mil at least!  1mil at 16mil at least! (both assuming overtracked lol)

Ehh? Wouldn't a week ending Jan 5th count as the first week of 2014 instead?

Yeah, sure. But we'll have to use official Nintendo numbers in January.

Ah, you're using shipped numbers, not sold? Very different and I am pretty sure this thread is about sold numbers and not shipped. There was obviously still a lot of 3DS's on store shelves from december 2012 to january 2013 meaning that they probably shipped a bit less then they sold. But I would be willing to take the original bet (how much it sold, not how much it shipped).
