Still no NPD numbers? Sigh........

Sad.  All we had is Sony saying PS4 YOY growth was impressive, which leads me to believe it's at 215K or more.  And for MS to bust out the hours of gameplay WW for a statement about US sales, leads me to believe sales are down quite a bit YOY.  Possibly 115K or less.  We already know Nintendo consoles are down, so probably means 65K for 3DS and 40K for Wii U.  It also means New 3DS was a failure at stopping the decline of 3DS sales.  Doesn't bold well with Nintendo banking on combining their HH and home markets when both are doing poorly.

Its a bit early to call the 3DS and Nintendo's handheld segment a de facto failure with no future prospect, when the system is 5 years old, underpowered and managed to sell 60 million units already. That said they need something and fast if they want to remain profitable and a seriosu player in the console race, this year. 2017 is way to late IMO.

 

OT: The PS4 is dominating. No real surprise here. Microsoft officially lost their last stronghold on a global scale IMO. With U4, PSVR and a dozen mid-tier exclusives this year, there is simply not much they can do to get back to #1 in the US IMO.
