We do not have official numbers, we have shipment numbers which in no way tells us how many were actually sold. U have used vgchartz numbers on multiple occasions to prove a point, now that it doesnt suit ur needs ur going to claim vgchartz numbers dont count because its just estimates.
The most likely reason why the shipment numbers are so low is that it sold less than expected last holiday and resulted in overshipping. In NA+EU, Paper Mario was the only big title last holiday and there were great DS deals on black friday, this caused 3DS sales to undeperform in the west in holiday 2012. There was no need to ship a ton of units to begin this year since they had so many still on shelves.

I have always used vgchartz when we have no official data.

Well we have no official data, like I said shipped does not equel sold. Overshipping in one quarter results in undershipping the next.
|
We don't have sales numbers so instead of using the next best thing and official standard within the industry - shipment numbers, we use rough estimates?
Ok...
|
Its not the next best thing because they arent the same. Vgchartz isnt always 100% accurate but for the most part they are close when it comes to hardware numbers so I will continue to use them since we are posting on this site afterall. There is no way they have it anywhere close to 2.6 million off.
Do u honestly believe 3DS has only sold 2.6 million this year?
|
we use media creates numbers and 3ds is over 2mil in japan this year. that proves him wrong unless he thinks NoA+Europe sold les than 500k in 7months with AC released+Luigi's Mansion lol
|
Clearly smartphones have eaten into 3DS sales that much in the west
|
i would counter by saying month of june Nintendo stated in US sales were 225k! Bammmmm! lol
