I was right. 3DS sold > shipped

Could be possible that the 3DS sold less than the X1 in 2014 up till now, right? I think it's definitely close.

I'd have to run the figures but yeah.

This is very odd.  3DS sales have fallen off a cliff surely?

Dec 2013:

Shipped 42.74m  Sold 41.78m

March 2014

Shipped 43.44m  Sold  43.85m

 

So if we assume the sold is actually more likely to be 43.0m maximum then... (assuming VGC was correct in Dec 2013)

- The 3DS has sold around 1.22m this year so far and not 2.07m  (it was 2.5m same period last year)

- So we would need to reduce 3DS ytd sales by 850k.

That's crazy. A 54% drop YoY in the 4th year? Has this ever happened?
