Wow the new hardware chart is up for 6-21-14, and I have to say I'm upset in a few ways.

The first thing that really upset me is no piece of hardware sold above 100,000 units. I've never seen nothing get below 100k, and now I've seen it. Another thing is that I know XB1 got a price cut, but it sold almost 20k more than the Wii U despite the release of Mario Kart 8 just recently. I mean 50k weekly is way better than 25-35k weekly, but I (sadly) forsee the number dropping there again too soon. I am losing hope very fast for Wii U now which is bad since I've supported it the whole way and wanted to see it succeed since the beginning. Another dissappointment which didn't start this week but quite a few before are 3DS sales in the West. It is performing well in Japan, but Europe and N.A. Ouch. I never wanted to see this happen or thought it would so quick, but console and handheld sales are terrible right now and I can't stand it. I'm all for PC but consoles are something I thought would never die off. Even handhelds going away wouldn't hurt me as much as consoles. All we'd be left with are overpriced PC's and casual phones which I never want to see happen. Tell me what you guys think about this terrible erosion of sales



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

Thanks for all the great memories!
