Screamapillar on 05 December 2013

Only counting NA numbers, obviously.  It being a US holiday week and all. 

3DS family + Wii U = 993k units sold  ---  Extremely impressive 3DS results, no doubt due to 2DS as well as Zelda XL bundle.  Wii U also showing signs of life.  Is this the first time Wii U has seen over 150k in per week sales since last December?  Regardless, no doubt Nintendo is very, very pleased with their 3DS sales going into Christmas. 

Next highest is 360 + Xbox One  = 753k units sold  ---  360 still selling very well, and of course Xbox One supply constraints since it launched only a week ago.

Sony was a very distant third, due to overall PS Vita weakness, coupled with expected PS4 supply constraints.  PS4 of course being arguably the most sought-after product from any of the Big Three this Christmas.  Of course, it's a sales contest, not a popularity contest.  In this case, Nintendo proves the rule, despite all the bad press.

Nintendo wins hands down on a per unit sold basis, and that is just including 3DS family + Wii U, not DS or Wii.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

3ds. First 3d Pokemon and link to the past sequel would do that



My 3ds friendcode: 5413-0232-9676 (G-cyber)

By number of consoles in whole world sold: Nintendo closely followed by Sony then MIcrosoft

1/ Nintendo sold more than 1.8 millions consoles (Everything is on shelves mostly everywhere)
2/ Sony sold more than 1.6 millions consoles (remember PS4 is sold out)
3/ Microsoft sold around 0.9 million console. (remember X1 is sold out)

By total revenue (dollars) approximative estimations: Remember, a PS4 and X1 are around 4 times the price of a 2DS/3DS.

1/ Sony won the battle of income revenue, PS4 is 400$ and the PS3 and PSvita are still a bit expensive.
2/ Nintendo
3/ Microsoft

So in conclusion both Sony and Nintendo won. Microsoft lost.

But profit wise I would imagine Nintendo made the most money. The 3ds models (all three I would imagine) probably sell for profit by now (if not all, certainly the 2ds and I know for a fact the 3ds XL does, still not sure about regular though) and they outsold the Wii U considerably (which is selling for a loss) but I'm pretty certain the Wii (which had a monster week of it's own considering how old it is and how many newer things are out) sells for a lot of profit by now. The ps4 HAS to be selling for a loss and we all know the xbone is (not sure about ps3/360) and we also know the vita is selling for a loss (no clue about psp, probably not).

I would imagine profit wise Nintendo made the most.

Why are people counting EU and Japan sales? This topic is about NA.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

I guess the bottom line is that all 3 companies made some serious dough. The Nintendo doom really needs to stop because its pretty clear that they still pull some serious weight in the industry. 2014 is going to be a freaking war on VGchartz.

The doom is not for Nintendo as a whole, but for Nintendo home console.

And as as good the 3DS numbers appear to be they are just a shadow if you look at smartphones and tablets sells.

I totally just heard Michael Patcher's voice in my head as I read this post. Not that's it's a bad or false post, it just seems like something he would say.  lol
