Interesting to see how people ignore 3ds sales on these threads.

That little thing is just beasting. It beat every main brand combined that week and is just crushing its main competitor.

Hardly a videogame console sell that much in any given week. Amazing.

The great 3ds sales are mentioned all the time.

But it's not a 1:1 comparison with home consoles.  Handhelds are cheaper, the games are cheaper, and attach rate is lower than home consoles.  For example total X360 & PS3 attach rate are at 10:1 and 9:1, while DS is at 5:1 and 3DS is at 2.8:1.

So not to take everything away from 3ds, but if it were a console THEN it would be amazing.

It IS a videogame console. And it IS competing for the same hard-earned money videogame fans spend, even not being a home but instead a portable console. Specially now that the casuals are abandoning dedicated gaming devices, I do think that those are amazing numbers.
