Gotta love how vgchartz keep insisting 3DS being close to PS4 yet official shipment numbers from Nintendo prove that PS4 is outselling it by atleast 3:1


Yeah. This is a numbers website, so try and not post something that is complete bullshit. If you were trying to get people to respond, then you accomplished your goal (that's what trolls do). Your statement was contradictory anyway.

"official SHIPMENT numbers from Nintendo prove that PS4 is outSELLING it by atleast 3:1"

Lol this dude explaining what type of website this is to a 3+ year member with ~60 times the post count


Nintendo sold 0.82M consoles last Q

Sony sold 3.5M PS3+PS4's last Q, majority of which are PS4 sales

PS3 sold 1.1M same period last year. PS3 is down a lot YoY as is evident on NPD, MC and Chart track data etc.

PS3 last Q is definetly not at 1.1M, there is no YoY stagnation for a 7 year old console, it's down according to every tracker.

Conclusion: PS4 atleast 2.4M, more than likely close to +3M

Sales of the PS3+PS4 alone are more than anything MS and Nintendo sold combined.

Shipment is a term "gamers" came up with, when I use it next to "sold", it should be obvious what I mean with that, the term sold in these instances always refers to sold-in, as in: to retailers. Even then, it should be clear what "outsold it in shipment" means, really... If you're honestly confused and need even more simple explanation: it meant "outshipped in shipments"

lawl...

The PS4 is an absolute beast and no console or handheld comes close to it in overall sales.

Next time before you comment, do your homework. When you try to talk about numbers, show them, instead of being angry, I don't wanna waste my time with people who don't look at numbers.


The PS4 is currently in high demand. It's hard to keep the consoles in stock, which is why they have SHIPPED so many consoles recently. 3DS, on the other hand, just came off of a great year, but is currently not in high demand. This would suggest that during that great year, Nintendo might have SHIPPED a lot of units, explaining why their shipments of the 3DS were so low last quarter. I don't think VGChartz is insisting anything. They are showing that the PS4 is slightly outSELLING the 3DS. End of story. You don't have to flash your credentials at me. That's like saying you're smarter than someone because you're older than them. It's a terrible argument. You have to differentiate between SHIPPED and sold through to the consumer. From your original post, it's very difficult to understand what point you are trying to make.


3DS peaked in 2012, it sold less in 2013 than it did the year before so no, it wasn't due to 3DS having shipped a lot in 2013 that they're clearing stock from that last year.  If that was the case they'd have shipped 0 units this quarter or very close to it. What you're saying doesn't make sense at all because during the Jan-March period they shipped 600k so they're definetly not clearing overshipped stock. 3DS is just less in demand. PS4 sales are 3:1 to 3DS. +2.4M vs 0.82.
