Is the 3DS number 100% accurate? Because Sony made it seem like it was the best selling.


This afternoon we learned from market research firmNPD Group that PS4 was the top-selling console for November and PlayStation was #1 in sales overall for home consoles. 

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/12/12/thanks-to-you-playstation-4-just-made-history/

Regarding hardware, Callahan reports that “with the introduction of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, coupled with positive sales for the Nintendo 3DS, sales in November 2013 marked the best November for hardware sales on record.” He added that PS4 “led U.S. hardware sales for the month, and marked the highest first month sales of a hardware platform on record.”

Any more proof?

Some maths...

101k x  16 = 1616k

PS4 is between 909k and 1616k

WiiU over 'predictions' who's?? Pachter's 150k or GAFS 250k?


Approx 200K would be okay by me.



Buying in 2015: Captain toad: treasure tracker,

mario maker

new 3ds

yoshi woolly world

zelda U

majora's mask 3d

So no ps4 numbers?

Seriously, does EVERYONE read that quote wrong or am I going crazy?

He said "increased by 15% year-to***date*** through November". Not year-on-year

Although, when I calculate that number I land at 300-400k lol

Doesn't it mean the same thing? Either way it's not great all things considered.

I guess that confirms it. Congratz to Sony for taking the challenge to MS over the NA market!

The battle will be quite close imo but at least its a fight.

No, thanks. I guess the 3DS really was way overtracked.

Does 3DS include 2DS in it? just asking

Yes it does.


um no one knows, gaf doesn't even know if its included or not

"3DS hardware sales were supported by the launch of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y as well as from sales of the newest member of the 3DS family, the lower-priced 2DS ... 3DS sold a total of 452,000 units during October. The 2DS and Pokémon helped the 3DS line out so much that portable-consoles sales actually increased year-over-year. That’s the first time portable sales increased since February 2012." NPD

They basically say they add 2ds and 3ds numbers.



It must be annoying for both consumers and shareholders that Sony won´t release actual sales figures. They beat X1 in November so why not announce the figures?
