According to Vgchartz this week 3DS was #1 so looks like their wrong again.

Seems to depend who you ask for Vita. Media create had the 3DS just ahead of it. Still a massive turnaround from last year though. It's just a shame 3DS levels have sunk to the Vita recently rather than Vita rising to the 3DS.

On my phone so not eread the MCV link. Where did their figures come from?



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

The tide rises (a bit)... unfortunely, its unlikely to sweep the US and EU. We are still waiting for results on jrpgvita and where is PSO2?



How is VGChartz wrong if Japan numbers haven't been posted for that week?

no, see my explanation above.


Ooooh ok, I didn't see the 3DS LL sales lol only the 9k 3DS. 



It's over. Nintendo should simply ditch the 3DS in Japan right now.

Not according to media create it didn't lol. So maybe don't have that Vita victory just yet.



 

As others have said, there's two trackers. For one it's ahead and the other it's behind. Sure, one could be ahead by a tiny fraction, but who cares? They're both excellent systems, they've both got great games for them now, and they're both selling the same. That's about right, really. Good to see anyway.
