3ds over ps3 in europe.. seems very unlikely


Your reasoning being?


this

True, but Fire Emblem launched here. And it's sold out almost everywhere, including the bundle (of which was gone within 35 minutes of being in stock, one of which is now mine).

Still unlikely, but this week it's possible.

fire emblem isn't exactly a system seller, but it would have boosted the 3ds quite a bit, i just don't think it would have boosted it that much

Well it's around a 25-30% increase over last week, the same as the 3DS saw in America.

PlatformWeekly (change)Total
3DS 42,484 (+31%) 8,023,532

I'm not saying it is the reason, but it could be. But regardless of all that, I agree with you. I think the PS3 is ahead of the 3DS, and this is just the fault, yet again, of VGC tracking.

the tracking does seem odd, ohh well

This is january to march. Now is april. There wasn't anything big in the first 3 months for the 3DS and now luigi is really successful on the european chartz and we just got fire emblem, monster hunter and lego city on 3ds. What did the PS3 get the last couple of weeks in europe?

luigi's mansion was released a while ago, and monster hunter/fire emblem/lego city are not system sellers

 

LM is still selling out @ amazon.de regularly. 3 of the mentioned 4 games are top 10 there.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

3DS on fire, it needs to share sales with wii u...... and maybe Vita lol

It's called that nintendo direct.

Have like 10 friends (live in europe) that went out and bought one directly after that.. i doubt that they were the only ones.

Though 3DS has had a recent resurgence due to Luigi and now Fire Emblem. It got big boosts in the UK and Europe (debuted number 1 in France adn Germany, number 3 in UK)

Wow, PS3 was pretty close to the Xbox this week in USA.

3ds is a beast, i still predict 95 mil lifetime



 

WII U // PC // 3ds XL // VITA

Update



I wonder if Wii overtakes PS1 total sales one day or if it stops selling right before catching it.



The tracking here... leaves much to be desired, to put it mildly.

We have NPD numbers, we have Nintendo numbers, we know most consoles are significantly under tracked on a weekly basis.

VGC, do something please.
