Forums - Sales - Fun fact: DS has never sold as much in October as the 3DS did this October (with still 1week remaining!)

benji232 on 06 November 2013

3DS now sold more then 1729000 in October.

The highest DS ever did in October was 1730000.

 

3DS will most likely sell more then 350k+ units for the last week of October puting it at 2m+. I just thought it was an interesting little fact to discuss :D.



Predictions for LT console sales:

PS4: 120M

XB1: 70M

WiiU: 14M

3DS: 60M

Vita: 13M

Isnt Oct 27th-Nov 2nd one more week for Oct month? if so 3DS has 90k in japan and no less than 120k everywhere else! 210k added would put it around 1.94mil!!!

 

Oh i hope US+Europe do a combine of at least 180k so it hit 2mil for the month of Oct!!!

I'm not sure where your 1.73 million is coming from. I'm getting it at 1545k for the 4 weeks. You get something very close to your number if you also add in the week ending 28th September, but that's not part of October, so I'm not sure.

I became a bit curious by this thread, so I decided to actually write down all the data.

Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Average 4 weeks Average 4 weeks DS + 3DS
2005 0 0
2006 291 274 298 376 309,75 309,75
2007 410 383 424 405 426 405,5 405,5
2008 350 359 363 382 630 363,5 363,5
2009 336 318 324 381 339,75 339,75
2010 278 245 240 314 269,25 269,25
2011 174 176 211 243 201 279
2012 194 211 202 239 283 211,5 243,25
2013 223 481 430 414 387 395,25

 

 As you can see, the 3DS' 4-week average is ever so slightly slightly behind 2007's 4-week average, but that difference is essentially nothing - it's less than 5%.

I put the total sales into a graph, as well.

That's good research pineapplehead. You should consider it as a career.

He got it from the VGC tools: 

It's definitely promising for the holidays if it can perform at DS like levels.
