I'm not buying those 3DS numbers for one second, not after how it was overtracked last month. Also, didn't PS4 have a 500k launch in Asia? Where did those numbers go?

Again, why? 3ds is underperforming in this december compared to last year. And it did not have a fantastic black friday either in 2012. These numbers are far from unbelievable. Unless you provide me with some solid argument of course.

VGC tracked 3DS at almost 900k in the US last month, the real numbers were 770k. That's pretty far off. I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing happening again this month.  

And in October, 3DS was undertracked? That's not really a good argument. If we look at last year's same week sales data http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/41259/USA/, 3DS sold roughly 318k in the US which is up 9k over this year's numbers. I'm not sure what looks so off with this sale data? It's actually down yoy with pokemon and zelda released. I would definetly not be surprised if it's actually undertracked.
