Does anyone remember where the statement of hardware being essentially flat came from? With the old 2015 data we could solve with the percentages given. Given that cream didn't post more, we can probably conclude data was complete, so in turn 'hardware being flat' should refer to Wii U + XB1 + PS4. That statement could also contain the percetage increase/decrease.
Never mind, the statement is "consoles declined by 8 percent".
Last year:
PS4 ~189k
XBO ~150k
3DS ~74k
Wii U ~62k
So assuming 3DS had a baseline decline of 8% like the total market, the rest is 401k. After 8% decline, 368.92k.
Then:
PS4: 211k (401*.92*.5718)
XB1: 121k
Wii U: 36.9 k
However, the 3DS is likely to be down more than 8%. Without that number we can't compute the exact numbers. They should all only be off by a few k, however.
The most interesting results are true regardless of the 3DS decline:
The PS4 practically outsold the XB1 2:1.
The Wii U declined by about 50% YoY.
