It's amazing because last gen ps3 was dominated by the DS. Playstation was David and now it's risen as the ps4 and slain goliath.  This years start has beaten every 3ds start to a year ever.  

 

It's an amazing turn around and feat.  Especially when the handheld had a new SKU release. 

What does the PS3 and DS have to do with this? You're moving goalposts.

It was obvious from the start the PS4 wasn't going to be a PS3. For starters, it was $200 (!) cheaper at launch and second off all, it's much easier to develop for.

Nintendo meanwhile has to compete with the smartphone market which makes the gaming market look like a fucking joke. It was also Nintendo's most expensive handheld ever at launch. It was obvious from the start the 3DS wasn't going to repeat the success of the DS.


So I'm not allowed to compare the two best selling consoles of  2015 then?  

 

It's 200$ cheaper then ps4, had two big exclusives launch and a new model that is apparently supposed to see it keep going until next gen.  

 

Those threads most people were thinking in terms of x1 vs ps4. I remember predicting a slight win before someone pointed out the new model was releasing and i changed my mind.  If you read most of the comments people were saying 3ds.  

 

If February plus March is more in favour of the ps4 that'll be even bigger but the first 3 months will easily be ps4.
