I wouldn't call it stunning overall.  Down a lot on its predessecor although that was a ps2 like beast.  

 

I honestly didn't think the ps4 could pull this off considering the new model for the 3ds.  It's the equivalent of a ps4 slim.  Ps4 is still at launch price after two xmas's which makes this even more impressive. 

Most consoles are down from their predecessors. Doesn't make them any less successful or impressive. The market has changed a lot since the DS reigned supreme, and all things considered, the 3DS is a beast. It's going to be the second best selling gaming system this gen. 

The PS4 is in its second year. The 3DS is in its fifth. The New 3DS just launched in February, yet you're comparing the data from two months and saying you're surprised the PS4 beat the 3DS in spite of the new model...that just launched. This is extremely skewed in order to favor the PS4 and this thread only exists to downplay the 3DS' win in the NPD. No offense, but this is extremely gratuitous. 

I don't know why you keep repeating that because ok the 3DS is in its fifth year but actually the Ps4 did better in 2014 than 3DS in 2011, 2012, 2013, or 2014. So it is not just about the age of the 3DS. Actually outside of Japan the Ps4 did better in its first year than the 3DS at its best year.
