it seems to be almost exactly in sync with vgchartz's #s. and the 3ds is not colossally overtracked either, within the million (~49.5 sold to customers, ~900k on shelves). the ps4 overtracking before sony released the 18.5m figure was a little less, but comparable to this. so the usual suspects shouldn't try to make too much hay about this, tho i fully expect five 3ds overtracked threads by tomorrow, possibly even a wii u one coz why not. |
900k on shelves would mean that the vast majority of 3DS supply is in Japan. 708k based on MC numbers, 653k using Famitsu, or 642k using VGC. That is the week ending the 4th. If we use the week ending the 28th, there would be nearly 900k on Japanese shelves alone.
It looks like the 3DS has already had a ~290k adjustment down since the numbers came out, but it needs a lot more.
Why exactly should we not talk about overtracking? Especially when it is this large, and VGC keeps making the same mistake year after year with the 3DS.
