I'll be surprised if this goes on for much longer since NPD is going out of their way to make sure that the numbers stay secret. We might just have to stick to quarterly or yearly predictions instead.

Been under predicting last few months. So I;m over predicting this month see how that does for me :)
 
Arent those rather high for the 3DS? I thought the US only received, what is that rumored, 1.2-1.5mln units? People are implying a complete sell out in 7 days! Of course, Im just saiyan...

I really have no clue how well the 3DS will be selling initially, how deeply it will cut into the DS' numbers. Well, in general, I have no clue about these things, it's just fun to participate.

Good point!

Don't forget that Pokemon Black/White launched this month with > 1m sold in first day (or week?).

Added that into the OP. :)

Not too confident with the above numbers. Tough month to predict.
