Downright scary HW numbers, but a least PS4 rose. When was the last time 3DS had been under 20K?



I dont think it ever was once

Edit: It was 4 times, All in 2011. First 2 were in March (back to back) with 16k-18k sold and the last two weeks before the major price cut (16k and then the week before release 4k) which is expected from a price cut in its final week.

So we might see below 20k for the first time in almost 3 years next week :-/

And i dont count this week, on one tracker we have it barely under 20k and on another its over 22k, so its safe to assume 20k+

Time for another price cut for 3DS?


Nah, Not yet anyway. This will be the lowest week in the upcoming months imo. They need to first release 2DS here. Then maybe a price cut in US/Europe *2DS can stay $130 but bring 3DS to $150 and XL to $180 during Fall. Japan price cut late this year or early next imo

A land where Vita outsells PS4. That's weirder and more foreign than any tentacle porn could be.

Nothing wrong with a little tentacle porn every now and then.

PS4: 60-65m
WiiU: 30-35m

YTD comparisons are so Horrible!! well except Vita :)

C'mon now, thats a HUGE SPIN :-/

You can make almost every Vita week look good by using this method and making 3DS look bad :(

Its a pretty bad week for everything (except ps4 imo), Vita included

I didn't even notice the weekly sales. Them YTD sales are far more damning.

This week might be one of the worse hardware weeks of all time(at least in the last couple of years no?)

It's a rough week, but I was looking at YTD this year vs. YTD last year. Market is down 500k, even with the PS4's 550k.

PSP dying off so quickly hasn't helped things. As a % it dropped a hell of a lot, but in terms of raw numbers it isn't the main contributor to the drop.

3DS being down 50% is the main cause of that, nearly 700k units. Add in the PS3 showing a more reasonable decline and the WiiU failing to gain any traction compared to last year, and the Vita's +100k and even the release of the PS4 is merely a drop in the water.

Wait Vita is up 100k? Is that an estimate or off the top of your head? *3DS will be a roller coaster this year. I see SSB helping out big time and maybe Yokai Watch 2! 3DS im hoping hits 3mil, but 2.5mil would be great looking at these numbers. Vita should hit over 2mil. Its on a rolll

O.o

It's off that chart you quoted.

Vita last YTD = 384,510

Vita current YTD = 470,632

Bit less than 100k, but you get the picture.

lmao, Fail moment on my part >_<

Not trying to put down the Vita but only 86k up? I thought it was far beyond that. All the Software its getting now. Vita should easily start beating 2013 #s cuz didn't vita drop back down one more time to under 10k... I think July/August? Vita has some pretty big games coming.
