Nier beat halo wars 2. Nice. Awesome game!

Nier numbers are only from Japan :D

Wow that puts things into perspective.  It wasn't long ago people would have said halo wars 2 was a big exclusive and Nier was niche.  And I wouldn't have disagreed with them either.  How the tables have turned.

Trunks...

New 3ds xl pikachu was released on the 24th of february in NA! 3DS was MOM yoy by 77% according to NPD, not surprising since it had stock issues* in January ( due to way higher than expected sales on holidays, triggered by Pokemon S/M and the ongoing effect of Pokemon go ) , that Nintendo beginned fixing them on February and they released a pikachu themed new 3ds xl in the last days of february!  http://nintendoeverything.com/february-2017-npd-3ds-unit-sales-up-77-percent-from-last-month/

https://www.yahoo.com/tech/nintendo-3ds-sold-everywhere-alternatives-135604124.html*

Taking into account that you had 3DS weekly baseline up by 8k compared to January's it means that you caught that Nintendo is resolving 3DS scarcity in the USA, but you have missed the sales of the release of New 3dsl xl pikachu edition, which is somewhat sad!

I must have missed that. Thanks for pointing it out. I do want hardware figures to be as accurate as possible. 

Acceptance of that is a good thing, howbeit not enough...  Forgive me, but  shouldn't you have already fixed that? So many days and people see a  recently proved as erroneous weekly figure and make conclusions! I'm completely sure about your concern about number being as accurate as possible, you're a responsible person.

You had 3DS at 64k in January ( it must be precise, since 3DS was extremely hard to be found after its great holidays )

77% MOM increase means... 114k in February! 19k-19k-19k-60k...

New 3ds xl pikachu edition was one day in February npd but that thing perfomed extremely well! Scarcity of 3DS in January and early february and for the first time a Pikachu New 3DS xl, which has been released after the Pokemon go and Pokemon S/M mania!

Huh! I just realised that, at least according to VGC, UC4 has sold more than EVERY game on Xb one. it is 1.5 million ahead of the top selling Xb one game. And it's only the 4th highest selling game on PS4.

I wonder if that's actually true in the real world.

It's probably not too wrong. And 8.7 million isn't that much actually. The 3DS has 5 games that sold more than 10 million.

Unfortunately, I think the 10 million club is going to have a lot fewer members this gen compared to last gen, probably most significantly because of the Wii vs Wii U situation, but with 9 games over 10 million on X360 and 7 games over 10 million on PS3 that is a big hill for PS4+Xb one to climb, with Xb one contributing nothing at this point. All tolled, across handheld and home console the 10 million club had over 30 members in the 7th gen. So far the 8th gen has a club of just 9, maybe 12 if you assume a decent proportion of digital sales.

I'm not sure if I would ever have called Halo Wars a major exclusive, but this is really impressive for Nier regardless. I've heard a lot of great things about the game.

Another week of insane PS4 HW domination, dropping a couple of k, but rising from 57% to over 59% of total HW weekly sales including all portable and home consoles of this gen plus PS360.
Can't wait for Switch launch week and successive ones numbers, PS4 probably resisted at more than good second place numbers, but whatever is neither Switch nor PS4 must have been totally dwarfed.
