The 3DS is not selling 11M per year on average. It sold 7.36M in 2016 and 7.53M in 2015 so it did not grow last year. And sales are down 10% QoQ from Jan to March 2017.

3DS did grow in 2016, simply vgc has made a small mistake in tracking in 2015...

In addition, 3DS sold out all of its stock on holidays in the USA, as a result having stock issues till April.

I'm using official Nintendo numbers:

2016: 7.36M

2015: 7.53M

 

Plus, you're looking at Europe and the US only. Plenty of other countries out there.

Still hurts my soul. T_T

Haha, I don't recall hearing that anyone else did that? Or maybe you told me and I forgot. Well, now we have two members in that exclusive club.
But yeah, the more they port to Switch, the more interested I become.

There are quite many wii u games that sold extremely well on a tiny installbase, that deserve another run on a system with a far bigger potential than wii u...

I mean MK8  has almost sold 9m on the 14m wii u, if wii u had sold 28m, this could be a 14-15m seller! So, the game in spite of having sold so much, still missed a considerable amount of sales. Hence, it was an astute move to port it on the hybrid switch!

Even here you have to bring the almost double userbase double sw sold?

Ah, you mean calendar years...

Lawlight, CY15 Q1 had New 3ds xl release in the west.

As you can see in the chart, 3DS grew  significantly between March-December 2016 compared to March-December 2015.

This prediction isn't going to make you look stupid in a few years. It's doing that right now.

Seems like he wasn't stupid neither at that time nor at this moment, one of the most precise premature predictions in this site.

Still nowhere close to 11M so why this silly discussion about it being calendar or fiscal year?

Bold? I know this thread is over 3 1/2 years old, but I don't think it was ever bold. The PS4 is already about to pass 3DS during this year, and it'll easily sell another 13.5+ million after that. 3DS is taking its last few breaths now. I'm starting to have doubts the device will break even 70 million; PS4 on the other hand is still on track to sell over 125 million.

Your comment is true, though the growth is actually from July to December as it was down QoQ in Apr-Jun 2016 compared to Apr-Jun 2015. So Pokemon Go is essentially what caused that growth inthe second half of the year. Still, Q1 2017 shows a 10% drop QoQ from Q1 2016.

I didn't comment on that 11m but if 3DS had growth or not but I guess you want to provoke me without a reason...
