Yeah, seem correct imo... so, we can say that the 2015 sales are (as for now) around correct, but in the first 4 years, 3DS is overtracked by 1.5m to 2.0m

2015 sales are definitely not correct, I'll just copy my post from the other thread.

A good portion of the 3DS overtracking is from before this quarter, but there was definitely overtracking this year as well.  At the end of 2014 VGC had the 3DS at 50.104m (Jan 3).  Shipments were at 50.41m (Dec 31).  So while that number is probably overtracked, VGC still showed 300k+ on shelves.  Now, 3 months later VGC has the 3DS at 52.15m (Mar 28) versus 52.06m shipped (Mar 31).  So some significant overtracking definitely occured over the three months.

Only because 3DS sell more than what Nintendo shipped, that don't mean is overtracked.

Look PS3, PSVita, XBO, PS4... all this console have sold more than what have shipped according to VGChartz.

So, ALL cnosole are overtracked? Just for say, one time Nintendo have ship 80,000 GC in a quarter of 2003, and it have sold 120,000 just in a month in the US.

 

Media Create and NPD have 3DS at ~1.35 million Jan to March.

VGChartz have 3DS at ~2 million so far... adding anothe 100,000 because the next week, 3DS will be at ~2.1 million.

750,000 Europe + North America withouth US + Rest of world seem correct, don't forget that N3DS have 160,000 the week ending 14 February.
