So Wii is at most 860k and PS3 is at most 900k. Wow...

860k is last month... this month is more like a little over 1m for Wii.

But the report said that DS and 3DS were the only consoles to see MoM growth. That puts the Wii at 860k or less.

It conflicts M$ 46%

Indeed, wtf is going on? Maybe they were talking about avg. weekly sales

Seems like...

“Hardware was particularly hard hit in December. Normally, we see sales increase from November to December on an average sales per week basis (keeping in mind December is a 5-week retail month as compared to November which is a 4-week retail month). The 3DS and the DS were the only platforms to realize a unit sales increase versus November, which is highly unusual since typically all platforms enjoy a lift in the biggest month at retail.” 

Crazy people who still buy DS when 3DS is around the same price and fully retro.

Good for Nintendo pockets, bad for 3DS install base.
