You can tell anything negative about Nintendo but not when it comes to their strong point, software sales! Lets see if uncharted 4 will outsell Mario kart 8... Or  how much halo will end up behind it... ( Unless  NX release date announcement, kills MK8 legs and its expontentially increasing attach rate, I hope it won't ! )

Not gonna go through every single chart, but it gives you an idea of how much the 3ds has been selling. Sure, there were other months were some titles charted, but overall it's not doing well. It does not look healthy. Sony has a constant stream of successful titles (1st and 4rd party). That goes for most countries, Japan being the exception. Also, comparing Yokai with Uncharted 4 in a single region is not doing you any favours.

Those are the selective and individual cases that I was talking about! You do the same mistake that many people do...

NPD? Only top ten with multi-platform  game, with their sales combined? How the fuck an exlusive game will chart there for more than 1 month  or how there will be 3ds games there  there are no recent releases? And 3ds is 6 years old!

 

In single skus or better,  a bigger chart, you would see  3ds titles...

 

You could have used at least  uk chart instead, in order to support your argument...
