*Numbers are from pixel counting, so it's like within +/-30k margin of error.
Famitsu is still publishing the PS2 hardware numbers on the magazine:
2012-12-24 1019
2012-12-31 1293
2013-01-07 562
quick rough calculation gives a software tie ratio of 2.5 for 3DS and 2.1 for Vita

So is Vita and the PS3 is nearly flat.

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

PSP halved at least... PSV needs more releases then last year.



Conegamer on 28 January 2013

Amazing growth YoY for the 3DS, and Vita (obviously). 3DS truly is the dominant force in the handheld market and that looks like it shall continue. Glad to see Bravery Default, Dragon's Dogma and Fantasy Life do well!

Here's a fun fact: Animal Crossing outsold the entire Vita library last year; by quite a margin (10%?)



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Whoops didn't notice the vita. 



Screamapillar on 28 January 2013

We need XSeed or Atlus or someone to publish Fantasy Life and Bravely Default in the US if Level 5 and Nintendo won't do it. These games will sell over here!



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.
