Guys the 3DS might not have sold as much as you think. The 9% YoY increase could be due in dollars, not in units.
According to NPD analyst Liam Callahan, "March 2013 saw deep declines of 32% in dollar spending for dedicated video game hardware, with stronger declines for portable hardware than for consoles. However, sales for the Nintendo 3DS grew 9% over last March. In March 2013, the Xbox 360 had the highest hardware unit sales for the 20th month in a row.”
They go from speaking dollar spending to hardware unit sales and 3DS is right in the middle lol so confusing.
