Why don't I find the 4.5m in the press release? Is it only in the title? |
i thought it was just me... I was wondering where the number came from too.
|
The news in OP is incomplete... there is a table.

So, 4.5m in 12 months confirmed and also confirmed that we are overtracking it a lot. Software quite overtracked too... (we have it at almost 12m...)
|
Personally I just find one thing strange. It hasn't been twelve months yet.
|
That is indeed quite strange...maybe they count March 2011 as one month, didn't March NPD show 3DS numbers?
|
Hmm maybe they do, in which case that is strange on Nintendo's part. However 4.5 is still a great number, and this site needs to realistically put all numbers a little bit down, across the board.
