3ds did well because its pratically a new system launch. I doubt 3ds will ever beat PS4 again in USA. Plus PS4 sales are on rise.

What's more impressive is that it even beat it in Japan for a couple weeks.

The 3DS is in its fourth year on the market. It's stunning it's still doing so well. Both are.


I wouldn't call it stunning overall.  Down a lot on its predessecor although that was a ps2 like beast.  

 

I honestly didn't think the ps4 could pull this off considering the new model for the 3ds.  It's the equivalent of a ps4 slim.  Ps4 is still at launch price after two xmas's which makes this even more impressive.

Ps4, a year and a half old system. A 4 year old system.... I am surprised it isn't beating it by more.

That's my point.  The new 3DS launch was big along with monster hunter and MM. This is an incredible feat by the ps4.

Actually going into its 5th year now. I just think this thread was made to put down 3DS after the news it won NPD (no offense Kerotan)

Edit:  And I mean we all know PS4 is going to be ahead! N3DS is just an upgrade. By years end PS4 will be over 3mil in US and 3DS will be barely hit 2mil


I actually do take offence to being described like that.  

The 3DS had it's equivalent of a ps4 slim, monster hunter plus MM. It did very well for the year so far but that makes this achievement even better for the ps4.

Bet you feel pretty proud of yourself.

No, you don't understand. This is huge. Screw the 3DS winning in February; that means virtually nothing. We have to become these slabs of machinery and plastic, live vicariously through them and assert our dominance over one another. There is no other way.

I feel like we're only entering the meta of this game.

I expect us going deeper into next months results when we next compare the Neo-Geo to the PS4 and the Gameboy Micro.



Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see

So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"

Most consoles are down from their predecessors. Doesn't make them any less successful or impressive. The market has changed a lot since the DS reigned supreme, and all things considered, the 3DS is a beast. It's going to be the second best selling gaming system this gen. 

The PS4 is in its second year. The 3DS is in its fifth. The New 3DS just launched in February, yet you're comparing the data from two months and saying you're surprised the PS4 beat the 3DS in spite of the new model...that just launched. This is extremely skewed in order to favor the PS4 and this thread only exists to downplay the 3DS' win in the NPD. No offense, but this is extremely gratuitous.

Ps4 is still at launch price After 2 xmas periods.  3ds had monster hunter, MM along with a major new SKU.  This is big news.

I mean...yay? I don't know, I guess I just never compare handhelds to home consoles.

That being said, the amount of unhappy you've caused with this thread already...delicious.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
