Haven't looked at VGC's hardware totals in a while, but they really need work.

Wii U - Overtracked. IIRC shipments were at 13.8m by the end of 2016.
Xbox One - No solid reference points, but likely overtracked.
PS4 - Overtracked. VGC has 400k units more by the end of 2016 than Sony's press release.
3DS - Undertracked. Shipments were above 65m by the end of 2016 and the system has been selling well during the holidays.
PSV - Overtracked. In addition to the 1m week out of nowhere, there's an ongoing error with the extrapolation, so the total margin of error has kept growing for about two years.

Being off is excuseable for the systems that no reference points are provided for, but the others should be adjusted, so that at least the LTD numbers are correct.

I can't make any past adjustments, but I am now responsible for updating the hardware figures. I've been lowering PSV figures a bit each week (outside of Japan) to a point where it makes more sense. Any other weekly changes you think should be made?

New 3ds xl pikachu was released on the 24th of february in NA! 3DS was MOM yoy by 77% according to NPD, not surprising since it had stock issues* in January ( due to way higher than expected sales on holidays, triggered by Pokemon S/M and the ongoing effect of Pokemon go ) , that Nintendo beginned fixing them on February and they released a pikachu themed new 3ds xl in the last days of february!  http://nintendoeverything.com/february-2017-npd-3ds-unit-sales-up-77-percent-from-last-month/

Taking into account that you had 3DS weekly baseline up by 8k compared to January's it means that you caught that Nintendo is resolving 3DS scarcity in the USA, but you have missed the sales of the release of New 3dsl xl pikachu edition, which is somewhat sad!
