It seems that 3DS has been adjusted down by a lot. It hasn't outsold the PS4 a single week this year.


VGChartz is being ridiculous here, as Nintendo officially published these figures as of 31/03 :

Nintendo 3DS : 43,33 mil (VGChartz 24/05 : 42,97 mil)

Nintendo Wii U : 6,17 mil (VGChartz 24/05 : 6,10 mil)

Nintendo Wii : 101,06 mil (VGChartz 24/05 : 100,66 mil)

So 3DS is probably at 44,1 mil and Wii U is probably at 6,45 mil as of 24 may.


Nintendos numbers are shipped to retailer.

VGchartz numbers are sold from retailer to consumers.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

So Wii U at 187k

We have 78k in the USA and know it sold 19k in Japan.

That leave 90k for the rest of the world. Sounds wrong imo.

Take 90k for NA and the figures become believable. Also 11k for UK and 20k for France.

Are you kidding? It was before XMen, Godzilla and loads of commercials on TV.  Were  your eyes closed? ;)

 

EDIT: That was supposed to a response to someone saying they have yet to see a commercial for MK 8.  Its early. I'm tired...

May is playing out about how I expected, now to see if June marks a swing or not.

In addition to that, VGChartz numbers are estimates and are expected to have a small % of error.

Anyway, the bar chart on the front page is still going up and down like the keys of a pianola while the adjustments are going through - let's wait until the dust settles.

Last bar chart update was about the adjustments made to the old data and the new one we have now is updated with last week data.

EDIT: We're going to see E3 announcement about PS4 sales data like 8.2+ millions i think.

 

Quote Tree Shortened - Conegamer



GAMING is not about spending hours to pass/waste our time just for fun,

its a Feeling/Experience about a VIRTUAL WORLD we can never be in real, and realizing some of our dreams (also creating new ones).

So, Feel Emotions, Experience Adventure/Action, Challenge Game, Solve puzzles and Have fun.

PlayStation is about all-round "New experiences" using new IP's to provide great diversity for everyone.

Xbox is always about Online and Shooting.

Nintendo is always about Fun games and milking IP's.

Lol, 10 minutes ago the WiiU showed at 6.3, now it's down to 6.1 - PS4 was showing 8.1, now back down to 7.9. They're still jumping around!

(edit to add) - back to 6.3 and 8.1 again!

Those seem like normal shipped/sold gaps to me, tbh.
