Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

3DS will still outsell DS. When the big 2 hit and the holiday buying fever kicks in sales will leap.

the 3DS sales are very shocking, didn't think it would sell this high early on.


It had a massive price cut, what's so hard to believe?  The only reason it's close is that.

Even with the price cut ($169) 3DS is still more expensive than DS was at launch ($149) or launch alinged ($129).  The cut was necessary, this is the price 3DS should've launched at.

If Sony had been as quick to price correct this past gen they might not have been stuck with PlayStation 3rd Place.

About the PS3, second or third is only meaningful to fans like us at this point, the difference between the two spots is meaningless in actuality.

And to the main point, I agree it should have launched less.  I'm just trying to sober up the posts that are acting like this is the greatest launch ever, the 3DS will be fine but that's a bit much.

according to Nintendo quarter report the 3ds has sold 6.68 millions, so I think it has already passed the DS.

That's the number sold to retailers (also known as "shipped" numbers). VGChartz tracks the number sold to consumers (also known as "sold" numbers).

So far, it looks like VGC numbers are pretty stinking accurate.

 

WHERE'S THE UPDATE FOR THIS?

I'm pretty sure they were using sold to consumers. They were quoting NPD, Media Create and a european tracking firm for their numbers.
