How much is it down year over year and how is it doing compared to the PSP in 2006?

I don't have 2006 numbers handy.

I don't know if we ever got reliable March numbers in 2012.  Was originally 200k, then 160k.  If it was 160k, then it is down about 73% YoY.  The five month total this year is down quite a bit from just the launch month.

Sometimes it's fun watching the disbelief at how well the 3DS is doing. Usually it's obnoxious scrolling through all the Wii U hate... like the latest Famitsu thread. 360 and PS3 are fairly predictable at this point.

Well there is certainly disbelief, but I'm not sure it's coming from the people you think it is.  We're talking about a system that is down YoY, with several months pretty near 100k.  The PSP was 24.2% higher in 2007, 46.4% higher in 2008, and the 3DS only beat the 2009 numbers by 3.5%.  The DS of course was in a completely different league.  2009 in particular saw sales more than four times higher than 3DS sales in 2013. 07/08/10/11 were all more than double.

I've seen people surprised by how well the PSV is doing. It doesn't have to beat PSP or last year's numbers (just as 3DS doesn't have to beat DS numbers, although it has been up YOY lately) to exceed expectations, which is what I'm talking about.

And it's fun seeing the Vita exceed expectations, too. So the kind of reaction I'm referring to is, "Wow, I thought the Vita was doing much worse than that," or "3DS was on top this month, and beat its numbers from the same month last year? I thought it was overtracked by a lot."

How many months has the 360 won in the US in a row now?
Would be interesting to see if the PS3 tops it with The Last of Us.

30 consecutive months as the number 1 console in the U.S
