oh, i didn't understand wat you meant lol, its way over now bro, that chart only gets updated when the Global sales come out trust me, cuz i was hoping last week would surpass. Its for week ending Feb 2nd not Feb 9th

But the 3DS hasn't sold over 400k this week, so it will be at most at 28.52, which still puts it below the Genesis.



lol, your mistaken 400k with 40k. Take a look at your math one more time lol

The difference is only 40k

...

Mixing up decimal places. My apologies. 

 

Well it's not like I'm doing a Maths degree or anything, no, that would be insane!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Lets Give a big Round of applause for the 3DS! In 2 years it made it this far! Now to surpass one of my favorite systems, The N64! When will it surpass it?

Discuss...

It many actually be very soon, as I've realized sales of 3DS on VGChartz are really undertracked. I'm pretty sure Kotaku stated 3DS sales at 30 million....So less than 3 million to go! Wooo!

Main page says 3DS is at 28.9 million, that's what I choose to believe. Gratz 3DS.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Kotaku stated shipments, which Nintendo reported (as always). 

It needs about 4m. My guess would be 27 weeks from now with sales averaging around 150k. That's just over half a year. I'll say mid-August then.



lets not forget that MH4 comes out sometime in summer(not sure the date) and NoA gets lots of games including AC. My guess is Late June/Early July imo

VGC has the Genesis a good 400k ahead of the 3DS still...

But the 3DS will outsell the N64 in June time, most likely.


Also, you really need to start fleshing out your threads a bit more; maybe use fewer exclamation marks as well. Makes it easier to follow and take seriously



lol ok, here ... http://www.vgchartz.com/analysis/platform_totals/ Thats where it says 28mil sold for Sega

You've just linked the same thing I did, which shows the 3DS behind the Genesis:
