First week? Impossible! And I can safely bet on that and win. You wanna bet tbone? UH? UH?

Its not impossible XD. It'll do at least 2mil and possible up to 4mil. Unfortunately we wont have numbers for it (especially if its on a different release date in Japan).

I would bet but its impossible.

How about this, wats your estimations on First Week Sales (WW has only 1 day, Japan 2 days) for each major region? (US/Europe/Japan)

My estimations? Hmmm... US I think it could do a Million. Europe 400k and Japan... 450k.

I don't think so. Maybe 2.5m is more likely.

Everybody has their opinions (im kinda with you on US, but i think 800k-900k and Europe looks fine), but Your underestimating Japan. Trust me when i say SSB 3DS will be no less than 500k FW there

Eh... they could, but I don't think retailer confidence is enough to make them order that many copies. Mario Kart sold something like 1.1 mil first week. Smash will be more front loaded and releases during the holiday, so I think 2 million is well within the realm of possibility for FW sales, albeit a bit optimistic. 1.5-1.7 million seems more likely.

I don't see them ordering that many copies in excess of what they'll sell week 1.

France by itself http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=188040&page=1#2

Japan will do about half your prediction imo. Well japanese release is coming soon, that should give us a better idea of wats going to be the number :)

I actually didn't see the 3DS in the title. That changes things. Retailers have more confidence in the 3DS, and will be more willing to order large inventories. It won't launch during the holidays though.

If the France number is legit, then maybe.
