3DS is down 160,000 on last year it should still be growing not shrinking.

I'm looking forward to Nintendo's official end of year (Nintendo financial year) shipment numbers at the end of April, beginning of May were it will show the 3DS behind the GBA again let alone the DS.

Ps4 and 3ds overtracked is my guess. Xbox360/3=Ps3 in US...

Again, 3ds is tracking 100k+ lower over last year on the same week. How are these numbers unrealistic to you? Give me one solid argument.

Seriously. It's really weird.

Indeed, that the Xone and PS4 software have dropped so low on the top seller list is disturbing. The consoles themselves are selling well enough, so why aren't the games? 

no competition

OP: I expected a bit more from wiiU, I was expecting around 350-400k. But still good numbers. I was also expecting a bit more from the 3DS given that pokemon, MH4 and 2ds all launched this year, I guess paper mario SS gave the 3ds a better holiday then those 3 pillars lol.

And those vita numbers >.<. Being myself a owner now, I can confirm that this device deserves much more sales lol. I have no clue why it's not selling well in the west. I guess playstation fans aren't big handheld gamers?

PS4 cannibalizing PS3 and 360 blocking XOne...

Microsoft should kill the 360 faster in the larger marteks. I was about to by one tomorow, but Sleeping Dogs changed my mind, I can wait until Titanfall.

PS: Until Sony announce their sales I won´t belive PS4 crossed the 3mi mark after Christmass.

I don't wanna change your opinion, just saying mine.

Fair enough. I was just curious to know why you thought that the 3ds  is overtracked.

Congrats to the 3DS for having a million sold in a week.

The PS4 may be in the lead, but I expect the PS360 to still sell fairly well this time of the year in 2014. I know that's when I'll be considering a PS3!

Don't overstate the wonder of the Wii U outselling the One. It's a virtual tie, and the Wii U is the only 8th gen console in Japan at the moment, giving it a private market of sorts. Still, it seems obvious that the One is really only going to excel in a limited range of countries. Well over half of its sales were probably in the USA!

Outside of Japan, the Vita is barely beating the Wii. Hell, the Wii is ahead in North America. Selling less than 20% of your rival on a week without any major releases is not a good sign.



Meanwhile, in American software...

In general, the Wii consoles did well, with Mario titles excelling on the Wii U, and Just Dance 2014 and Skylanders doing great on the Wii. things aren't looking great for Nintendo's consoles yet, but at least there are games. Also note that although few Wii U games made the chart, even Wii Sports from 2006 managed to do so, beating out Gran Turismo 6.

The One and PS4 are not doing that great in terms of software. Each is largely relying on CoD still, but neither version is doing above 80,000 this week. Bloody Rocksmith for the 360 is doing better than Killzone, Forza, etc.Combined, these two consoles, though doing brilliantly on the hardware side, still fail to sell over a million games a week. That's right, in terms of software, the DS is doing better!

The 3DS is great in terms of hardware, but merely adequate in terms of software. About 1 in 8 3DS games sold were Pokemon X/Y. Besides that... Zelda did well on its 5th week, but nothing else sold above 65,000 or so. Even Mario Party sold poorly, less than 2008's Mario Kart Wii. At least 2011 games like MK7 and SM3DL make an encore appearance.

In terms of software alone, the PS360 remain the undisputed kings of America, garnering somewhat over half of software sales when combined. 10 of the top 17 skus were for these systems, and thus above any PS4/One titles. I fail to see either platform becoming discarded in the near future.
