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.


I think VGChartz overtracked the New 3DS pretty hard in NA/Europe, aside from the good launch week(s), I'd say 3DS sales have slowed considerably since then to regular levels.
