They really must not gives a damn about this site anymore because this is just terrible.

go look at 360's shipments

I have known that for months. Over 2M on shelves... I think it's similar for PS3 right?

What is the point of this site?

iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Sales for the Nintendo 3DS grew 9% over last March (source). The 3DS sold 225k March 2012. That means 245k for March 2013.

I actually don't see where in that article it mentions 3DS hardware.

The paragraph right below the BioShock Infinite Video Review.

Guys the 3DS might not have sold as much as you think. The 9% YoY increase could be due in dollars, not in units.

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.”

They go from speaking dollar spending to hardware unit sales and 3DS is right in the middle lol so confusing.
