I'm not sure why passing two failed consoles which almost bankrupted Sega is an accomplishment, but there's no question that the 3DS's sales are picking up fast. In that respect, Nintendo should have a great 2012.


I'm not sure where in my post I stated this was an accomplishment? And even using your line of reasoning is this dissapointing on the 3DS's part to have done more sales worldwide in 8 months than these consoles did in years? I was merely pointing out a fact, I wasn't saying it was an accomplishment.

The 3DS is the successor to the highest selling console ever by the most successful company in the industry.

Also, if you didn't consider this an accomplishment, why make a thread about it at all? It would be like making a thread about the 3DS passing the Neo Geo or the Game Gear. It's going to pass a dozen of other consoles at some point too. The Saturn and the Dreamcast aren't even handhelds. 

Oh well.

Okay this is clearly going to be difficult. I made a thread because I thought some people might be interested to know about the sales data. And judging by theresponses certain peole have been. If you don't like the thread then why bother posting in it?  And what difference does it make as to whether its a handheld or a home console. Like I said above, I was merely posting some sales data.

Well what are the 3DS worldwide sales? I know the Dreamcast did not do that well, but I thought it did better than... what? 10 million 3DS sales. Is that about right?


This site has Dreamcast sales listed at 8.2 million. 3DS should be around 8.8 million when its updated soon.


It sounds horribly wrong. i would have thought the Dreamcast at least pushed out half or more of what the gc did. ?aybe it was not popular in EMEAA?

dreamcast sold about 10 million in the 18 months it was really available

also it has passed over dozens pieces of hardware

5200,7800, xegs, lynx, jaguar, astrocade,arcadia, pcfx, pladia, pippin, m1000 (probably topped this one in about the first 5 seconds on the market) supervision, super duck, cougar boy, cassette vision, neo geo pocket, virtual boy, telstar arcade, colecovision, intellivision, odyssey, odyssey 2, microvision, adventurevision, 3do, neo geo, channel f, rca studio, cd32, cdi, cdtv, laseractive, vectrex, actionmax,commodore gs, memorex vis, game.com, all of the strange radofin Early European consoles, when it passes the 2600, then it will be a milestone, beating the lowest selling market leader

I can only go off what the chart says on this site. I don't know whether or not those figures are undertracked. I know I've read a couple of times that the PS2's fisures are lower than they really are so this might be the case with the Dreamcast. I really don't know either way so I just went with what was there.



If it does well enough, surpassing the GameCube in 2012 is possible.

Dreamcast is at 10.2M and Saturn 9.5M according to Wikipedia though..


This, something is up with the totals chart (as you can see from PS3, 360 ect not updating)

I'll get it checked out.

It's overtaken the nGage though, rejoice!

ANd of course i cannot wait for 5th January for my free copy of Kid Icarus.

There is no use in writing anything positive about anything Nintendo. If it isn't negative you will have an argument on your hands.
It seems as though you can write anything rotten about Nintendo on this site and it will seem the norm. But try to write something positive about Nintendo and you will get attacked for it.
Just try to deny it, 6 Months ago every Nintendo hater on this site was laughing and poking fun at 3DS because of sales. Mixed with the ever-so-stupid "Nintendoz izzz dooomzzed" or whatever the hell it is they write.
So Nintendo releases better games, makes a price adjustment and now it's selling like it's supposed to. But nope you cant please the haters..."oh the games are just remakes" or "it's just because of the price" you cant even be happy it's about to reach 10 million.
