Wat. Yes, by 5m+. I expect 3DS to finally be adjusted down once the next shipment numbers are in


it adjusted up...there was a huge undertrack,i cant rember where!can you just stop overtracking claimings for wii u and 3ds!especially for wii u ,which now has exact numbers for sure!



no!because of smasbros but mainly because of alpha sapphire omega ruby are releasing close to holidays,plus new 3ds new 3ds xl in japan,where ps4 is doing very bad!



Very, very easily, with plenty of room to speak.

Xbox One - PS4 - Wii U - PC

There's really no competition. PS4 already has a confortable lead and Destiny will help it crush everything else this holiday.

That has nothing to do with 2014 though, we kno 3DS is overtracked lifetime by about a million, but thats from before 2014. (reguarding the thread of course).

 

OT: 5.64mil vs 3.94mil? Damn that gap wont disappear. Sept will be huge for PS4, but i think 3ds+ps4 will be neck to neck during the holiday, with of course PS4 slightly being larger.

Think many people are forgeting Japan, and the N3DS+N3DSLL. 

As of now my prediction is PS4: 11.5mil Sold  3DS: 8.5mil


ioi adjusted it up!why?it s not overtracked it  was undertracked  !only a few people keep repeating it and they always are the same!dont let them tbony to mislead you ;!nincsect keeps saying wii u is overtracked,when i proved that isnt!

PS4 in 2014 will probably sell about what the 3DS sold last year. 3DS will not.


I wouldn't be so sure. There's new hardware coming soon and Smash this year. And that's a first smash for a handheld ever, so it's quite a big deal. So the PS4 is currently on the right path, but I wouldn't hold my breath. 



In 2014?

I'm pretty sure the MH4G/Smash+n3DS(XL) will pull in a mother-load of units in Japan alone. If the 3DS(XL) gets the price slash that is likely due State/EU side to clear the channels for the n3DS(XL), then even more units are going to go. Those will close the gap, if not overtake it.

So then the question will be will the PS4 be able to outdo the 3DS in US/EU come the holidays. Can the PS4 with its entire line-up come close to beating the-all-of-one-game on the 3DS that's coming out for the world?



PS4 will sell more.



Still going to have to be conservative here with my expectations.

The 3DS, like Nintendo products in general, sell much like other toys during the holiday season, which is to say disproportionately to the rest of the year. Yes, so do all video game related products, but we've seen it time and time again how Nintendo tends to see bigger jumps in sales over Q4, likely because of the children's market. A lot of Nintendo handhelds are bought as gifts for children.

I'm not even sure SCE knows how many PS4s they can move for the 2014 holiday season, seeing as how they've already stated even they are surprised at how well it's been selling. It may just boil down to availability of product, which is not to say that both or either will be sold out (that would make it easy to predict), although it is far more likely that the PS4 will be shorter in supply than the 3DS.

So who ships more? That may be your answer.
