From Neogaf (Nintendo Press Release):

3DS sold the most out of any hardware according to Nintendo PR.

Nintendo News

Nintendo 3DS Was the Best-Selling Video Game Platform in May

Nintendo 3DS continued its strong year with another first: The platform was the best-selling video game hardware platform in the United States in May. The launch of Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D on May 23 and another strong month for Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon helped Nintendo 3DS software sales in stores increase by more than 60 percent over the same time last year. Nintendo 3DS also had two of the top three best-selling software SKUs for the month, with Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D at No. 2 and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon at No. 3.

At the recently concluded E3 trade show in Los Angeles, Nintendo defined its proposition for the holiday season by showcasing a cavalcade of great games coming for the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS systems in 2013. Starting in August and continuing through the end of the year, Wii U will launch one major game a month, including Pikmin 3 (Aug. 4), The Wonderful 101 (Sept. 15), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (October), Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (November) and Super Mario 3D World (December). Nintendo 3DS will build on its momentum with the successive launches of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (Aug. 11), Pokémon X and Pokémon Y (Oct. 12) Mario Party for Nintendo 3DS (name not final, November) and The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (November).

I always thought Microsoft used the term consoles for handhelds too but I guess not.

It's increasingly apparent that PS4 / Xbox One should have released last Fall, along with Wii U. Nintendo in theory could have capitalized on this by releasing a compelling product, but that didn't happen either. Industry is in for at least another hard 18 months. X360 / Wii / PS3 are saturated, PS4 / Xbox One are too expensive to succeed at launch, beyond 1-1.2m each in 2013.

I'm seriously doubting anything in the US is going to top 4m (hw wise) in 2013 - first time in over a decade (high 3s for 3DS and X360).

People are difficult to govern because they have too much knowledge.

When there are more laws, there are more criminals.
