Well oyvoyvoyv those are just predictions. And NPD has over the past seemed to undertrack DS so I'm not too worried about that. But everything else seems to be within limits of these estimates.

Wait, how is the US dollar getting stronger?

I guess with it gaining strength, you can see current Europe sales matching the Americas anytime now.

Lower oil prices = stronger US dollar, and the inverse is true as well

Kotaku has changed his article again these are just merely predictions based on EEDAR's early sales analysis.

Oprah bought one, its also in the nursing homes now. What did you expect?

"Dr. Tenma, according to you, lives are equal. That's why I live today. But you must have realised it by now...the only thing people are equal in is death"---Johann Liebert (MONSTER)

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

@Oyvoyvoyv:
Thanks for calculating diffrences vs vgchartz.

I don't think that uproar will be very big (if those numbers turn true) as most people are mostly interested in current-gen home consoles and PSP/DS errors (which are the biggest) won't cause that much of flames.
