175k < 3ds + vita < 180k =

The 3DS and Vita sales put together are more than 175,000 sold but less than 180,000 sold.

Edit: VGC has 3DS=153k and Vita=25k and then Together=178k. Unless 3DS is a little overtracked and vita undertracked? I dont kno why nintendo didn't just say it? Was last years #s alot more or something?


Probably likely that 3DS is down YoY, which is why Nintendo didn't want to mention it. 


Yeah, but its really stupid imo. Sony never wants to give vita #s and quarterly reports combine itwith psp, and nintendo doesn't want to announce 130k-160k for 1 month? i mean we already kno last month sales were 100k, no point in hiding lmao.

Im very impressed by pokemon. Japan its doing 10k-12k a week while US is doing over 32k a week!


3DS sales are pretty soft honestly, the PSP compartively in its third Feburary on market (NPD) sold 243k, the 3DS looks like it did about 160k. No point in comparing to the DS as that's just unfair at this point. 

Nintendo probably doesn't feel like crowing too much about it. 

People who don't think the handheld business isn't absolutely being rocked by the smartphone/tablet rise are in pure denial, 3DS + Vita combined can't even sniff prime PSP numbers anymore. 

There will be a new Nintendo portable (hybrid?) in 2015, I'd bet money on it.

Yes, actually you're right. I dunno what my point was. I thought Target getting the units wouldn't mean they would all sell because of the breach, but you're say they are selling. 


I dont think people who want a playstation care about security breaches (get it... because of the PSN hack). Thus it wouldnt bother them picking up at Target.

Also, like I said. It was an organized thing. They had ads the week before ready to send out notifying Ps4s availbilty. Emails were sent to hold ps4s for that week if stores recieved them early. But even when I say massive shipments I do mean relative to target. Im pretty sure they are dwarfed by Gamestop or so.

of course, imagine if there weren't smartphone/tablets? Anywayz 3DS has done enough, im thinking 3DS lifetime sales now (Worldwide) will be between 60mil-80mil. It really depends, nintendo can definitely give it a price cut/another model/etc. But in todays world HH wont be like they use to.

Vita is lucky it has Sony brand. I said this awhile back but people say nintendo no 3rd party this and that, then i look at 3DS and Vita support and despite in japan 3DS=15mil+ and Vita at (i think 2.2mil-2.5mil?) there are so many developers working on vita. Not trying to start a war but it doesn't matter if nintendo does well hardware wise.

A site that offers free number to see and discuss compared to the NPD that only gives a top 10 with no numbers and nothing more

npd doesn't give numbers every week only every month and what little people leak or the companies say. NPD doesn't give world wide numbers. NPD doesn't give much for software numbers. NPD isn't a site with it's own comunitiy.

what are you really asking with your question?

Where's your proof? I see nothing of the sort on GAF. Not to mention we don't know LR digital sales + BD being 10 days older on the market
