Guessing the majority of those sales are digital.

According to NPD analyst Liam Callahan, "March 2013 saw deep declines of 32% in dollar spending for dedicated video game hardware, with stronger declines for portable hardware than for consoles. However, sales for the Nintendo 3DS grew 9% over last March. In March 2013, the Xbox 360 had the highest hardware unit sales for the 20th month in a row.”

Last March sales were 225k so that would put the 3DS at 245k then.

I thought the 360 was #1 for 27 months in a row......

Im not sure what to make of this:

"So far we have 261k for 360 and 245k for 3DS. That leaves ~481,000 left for DS+(PSP)+PS3+Wii+Vita+Wii U"

Hey look guys, 3DS is undertracked by half. Who would've guessed?

Can't wait to hear how these numbers aren't that good, should be better, etc, and how 3DS is FAILING HORRIBLY in America and its sole saving grace is decent Japanese sales.

More than 100% undertracked? That's the spirit, 3DS!

360 beat 3DS by 15k
