What do you mean? I was just talking about how vgchartz still has the 3DS selling more than it actually shipped.

Look at my edit. 

I was thinking this thread was the same as the data that was just released on the homepage. I confused myself.

Well of course there is contraction, there is no Wii equivalent.  I'd be surprised if total hardware reached 200 million for the home consoles this gen, when it's over 260 million last gen, and that's almost entirely due to the Wii (and perhaps a shorter gen this time around)

The market contraction doesn't matter, Mummel. As long as PS4 looks like it's doing great nothing is wrong.

I thought it was generally accepted that of course it's not going to be as high as last gen. The Wii invited a lot of casuals to come and play. They left so the Wii U has no chance to repeat the monster sales of the Wii. Everything is just going back to normal but with a few changes.

VGC finally tracking good in the US? would be funny if XB1 is ahead this month lol

3DS is plummeting, software has been poor this year

Terrible X1 numbers, Wii U will be ahead for a couple of weeks because of MK8 which will be nice to see

PS4 numbers are ok, hopefully undertracked a bit, exclusive marketing for Watch Dogs potentially gives it a nice bump in the coming weeks

Summer will be awful.  After Watch Dogs there is three months with nothing to move systems until Destiny.

Sigh, everything is fine....the only thing that is contracted is the casual wii market, we are back to the ps2 gen. Come fall sales will spike again and still be way ahead of where last gen HD consoels were.

Thank you for even further proving my point.
