3DS has now surpassed PS2 sales in Japan (Media Create) | NeoGAF 

21.83m. ( VGC has an inexplicably wrong number, I don't know where that figure came from and vgc used it ) 

3DS number missing 120k untracked 2DS limited edition sales ( before general release in Japan) so 24.76! Although shipment total is 25.2m, can't fathom why there is such as discrepancy, there can't be still so many on the shelves other than rest stock of New 2ds xl ( 40k). @RolStoppable? 

NS will outsell it barring any unforseen circumstance,  the intersting thing is if it can outsell it NS lite sales excluded!That would be the great feat.

Famitsu doesn't track sales that occur through Nintendo's own online store in Japan, so there's an evergrowing discrepancy between sell-through and shipments.

Historically, VGC has closely aligned its Japanese sales with numbers posted by Famitsu and Media Create, so they would carry over the same blind spot of Nintendo's missing online store sales.

I was suspecting that, but didn't expect it  to make such a substantial difference. Does this trend continues? IF so, I can't be extrapolating the stock of NS by comparing Famitsu sales and LTD shipments... Nintendo store must have grown even more now, for obvious reasons. What about Amazon?
