Dang look at the 3DS! In its 5 years it can still pull off 100k+!

Is it not normal for some consoles to do that after like 8 years?

Looks like Hyrule Warriors gave 3DS a big boost. Huh, didn't expect that!



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I thought smartphones would have greatly affect it by now.

I guess people upgrade to the New 3DS!

Fantastic numbers for Sony. Always nice to see the Vita keep plugging away.

Excellent PS4 performance as usual, decent XBOne, unsatisfying 3DS considering it's the portable market leader.
The other noteworthy facts are that recently PSV and Wii U are consistently showing almost decent performances for two definitely niche products, and what's more by now the former almost solely supported by third parties and the latter constantly given up for dead (well, actually the former too 

Wtf ?, 3DS, did better than Xbox One, and have a fierce competition, that are Smart Phones, and is 5 Years Old, also already sold over 20 Millions on Japan, and over 20 Millions on USA.



PS4 doing consistently over 300K per week seems high to me. I guess we more or less have a benchmark for end of year financial reports, so we'll see in a month or so I guess.

Well considering its declined massively gen over gen it has been greatly effected but it ain't gonna start selling zero.  There's still a market WW.

Smartphones may have "stolen" a part of casuals but they could explain a progressive drop, while Ninty portables suffered a very sudden and heavy drop at the end of DS/DSi life, before 3DS even launched, and 3DS, outside of its highest peaks, couldn't repeat on average its "dad"'s success. Something went wrong in the transition, and not only the bad 3DS launch, that Ninty was actually able to fix quite quickly (and "killing" the equally eccessively expensive PSV in the cradle with that huge early 3DS price drop), also before it, mobiles alone cannot be the sole cause. XBOne does decently as a second ranking home console, Wii U is now doing decently as a niche one, like PSV is a decent niche portable (but it's just niche instead of a true competitor due to Sony's huge mistakes with it), but 3DS is doing quite disappointingly as a market leader. IMVHO opinion, Ninty's mistake was the same with Wii U and 3DS, killing their predecessors too early before the new launches, tarnishing two brands that it had instead to keep alive and kicking until the end, as it wanted to use them in their successors.

2 Different markets, being the Market Leader, and selling something are 2 Different things, 60 Millions is a good number for a Handheld, and selling over 100 Thousands a week, also is a good number, Xbox One, is the second console in a much more Main Stream Market, 3DS, is doing well, Xbox One, is doing a little less than the Expected, for a console that had a Price Drop, and will launch a Exclusive game  next week, Plus, had the rights of Marketing of The Division, the best selling game of March, and of the Year (until now).
