I don't know what's funnier, the fact that the 3DS has dropped so low like I said it would, or the fact that the 3DS is still in second place with numbers so low.

What's interesting about it is, where the sales come from.

WiiU worldwide this year: 735078

regional: 322102 (USA) + 178213 (Europe) + 150811 (Japan) = 651126

PSV: 771628

97148 + 153580 + 360108 = 610836

The better sales of the PSV in Japan couldn't make up for the worse sales in the US and europe. But overall it leads. Other regions are the saviour for the PSV. Let's do the math, it must be 735078 - 651126 = 83952 for WiiU and 771628 - 610836 = 160792 for PSV. That's impressive.

Dat tagged game...

Yeah, there really isn't any proper, logical reason in conventional market movements for why the PS4 is showing growth for this quarter. I think it mostly comes down to the fact that the others are still performing pretty poorly and the PS4 has become the go-to console for developer and customer alike, it maintains its own momentum by having secured a huge lead and reaping the benefits from "it" status.
Once more, as it was in the 6th gen, when someone says "video game" or "console", average consumers associate these terms with "playstation".

Those who say that is "only selling on hype" are partly correct in some ways, but they are wrong in thinking that the sales will die down or even decrease if and when this hype dies; Sony has as of yet done next to nothing to help the PS4 along, they have been more or less handed the win by the utterly ridiculous decisions made by the competition since before the consoles were even announced. But it has its own legs to stand on, more and better software will help and the first price cut is sure to invigorate the market near the holidays.
Unlike the Wii, which relied solely upon hype, or the euphemism vgchartzers chose; viral marketing, the PS4 has a life to live besides this bubble and we'll see a lot more stable sales curves, not unlike the PS3 but with less growth in later years and insane longevity and without the immense speed of the Wii's initial years.
Let's just hope Sony doesn't get too lazy or too timid, the PS3 should have been the only lesson the needed.

That's my belief anyway.

Glad and happy to see numbers are up! Here's to getting to May!

I agree with you a 100%

So happy to see numbers again. All hail the great ioi for returning to the plains!

Welcome back ioi! Glad we got the numbers back, much appreciated.

maybe we need wait to the E3 to see real sales about ps4 and xbox one consoles.
i´m sure ps4 has sold around 22-24 million.

Wow Wii U under 30k and 3DS under 80k
Do we expect still new hardware until 2017-2018?
