Let's predict US 3DS sales...

[CM30]

Well, since the 3DS sales for the UK and Europe in general were released, but not the sales figures for in the US, an interesting forum game could be predicting how well the 3DS sold over there.

So with 113 000 in the UK and 300 000 odd in Europe during the opening weekend, I'm going to guess the US, which tends to be more fans of 'new', somewhat gimmicky ideas in consoles (the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube for example apparently sold best there, as did many 3D Mario games), would probably have opening weekend sales of 500 000 to 600 000.

Your thoughts? There's a poll too.

500,000 to 750,000 because my country is full of spoiled little kids who'll get anything by whining and crying to their parents.

Most probably it would be 500,000 - 750,000 sales.

i would think that the biggest thing people wouldnt buy it is if they think its a normal ds with 3d like my mom did

I think the problem is the price of 3DS. Not many parents are willing to buy 3DS for their kids especially those who have just purchased new DS last December. My friends who had his hands on handheld such as DS,DS Lite, and PSP are not buying 3DS. People who are having these problems might decided not to buy 3DS now, but they might buy it in the future.

I have seen many launch video and I think the buyers are mostly adults or at least 15 years old and above (Although there's a possibility that they bought 3DS for their kids as well).

I'm putting everything on over a million. My house, my car, my family, EVERYTHING. Even the neighbour's house.

There's a chance that it will reach over 1 million, it is US that we were talking about

Hopefully you won't lose your house, car, family and your neighbour's house xD

 

[Denver dude]

Id say 500,000 - 750,000

 

[Andy]

One more day to go and we will know result

Although I chose 500,000-750,000, but I really really hope that it will exceed 1 million >__>

ditto

.... well it won't really matter, it just needs to be more than the wii and the ds in the US.. the 3Ds still has plenty of time to break all kinds of records!

 

[3dslover]

50,000 maybe

 

[Andy]

50,000 maybe

The real figures is out and the US sales reached approximately 400,000-440,000.
