According to VGC, the 3DS sold a little over 5k both week ending Aug 1st and week ending Aug 8th last year (I'm not sure which one MCV refers to, so checked both).

If I remember my math correctly, 200% of 5k should be around 20k? But that's too high... I'm gonna say either I'm wrong, or VGC is wrong.

A 200% increase of 5k is 15k. But there's the obvious catch that VGC numbers are merely estimates and that the article only specifically mentions the 3DS XL and 2DS. Also, "3DS XL hardware" could refer to 3DS XL and New 3DS XL combined. Too many unknowns here to say anything for certain.

I would assume the article is only excluding the normal sized 3DS model (with New and Original models included), but yeah, it's too vague. We just know 3DS hardware increased by a lot, alongside Pokemon Software. Which means Pokemon GO is doing its job.
