Yikes! I assume you meant PSV on the really low bar on the previous graphic?

Still though, crazy! It's weird to think that the 3DS has three times the number of sold consoles than the Vita right now. Though crazier still that the PSP is almost the same level. I never realized how well that thing sold in the first year.

oops.  bugger.   yes.

I shall fix.

just shows you how much the PSP dropped off after its inital good start and the DS got going.

Yeah, it's definitely interesting to see. PSP is still very successful, no question, so it makes the comparisons for the Vita even more complicated, especially when the PSP keeps outselling the Vita in Japan almost every week.

I think my guess for the Vita NOW will 4.2 or 4.3m by the end of the year. 200k total on Black Friday week and the slow descent from there, I just can't see it hitting 5 before the year is up. I also can't see the 3DS hitting 30m either before year end, but, still, 1.1m in the last two weeks is quite reasonable.
