Wow the new hardware chart is up for 6-21-14, and I have to say I'm upset in a few ways.

The first thing that really upset me is no piece of hardware sold above 100,000 units. I've never seen nothing get below 100k, and now I've seen it. Another thing is that I know XB1 got a price cut, but it sold almost 20k more than the Wii U despite the release of Mario Kart 8 just recently. I mean 50k weekly is way better than 25-35k weekly, but I (sadly) forsee the number dropping there again too soon. I am losing hope very fast for Wii U now which is bad since I've supported it the whole way and wanted to see it succeed since the beginning. Another dissappointment which didn't start this week but quite a few before are 3DS sales in the West. It is performing well in Japan, but Europe and N.A. Ouch. I never wanted to see this happen or thought it would so quick, but console and handheld sales are terrible right now and I can't stand it. I'm all for PC but consoles are something I thought would never die off. Even handhelds going away wouldn't hurt me as much as consoles. All we'd be left with are overpriced PC's and casual phones which I never want to see happen. Tell me what you guys think about this terrible erosion of sales



XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

RIP Iwata 12/6/1959-7/11/2015

Thanks for all the great memories!

I enjoyed these numbers personally (For the Xbox One at least)



The writing has been on the wall for the WiiU for a very long time, if you're just getting disappointed now I find that very strange.



XBOX ONE beats PS4 in NA. Cheers! WiiU ouch! 



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

The One is doing pretty well this week, also, good numbers for PS3 and 360. The Vita is still in danger...



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

Nice to see consoles go back to normal,
I'm thinking if xbox was released in Japan already it would probably give it 1k more in sales



Don't worry man, apparently some people believe the PS4 will sell 170 million and sell more than the 3DS even though the 3DS is selling more than the PS4 now and it is 3 and a half years old..

it will sell 170,000,001 exactly. it will happen through the magic of playstation plus, as you will be able to download new consoles for your family (christmas special, like free games except a free console) to enjoy aswell as download more ram and hard drive space, expecting 50 million console downloads this year.

xD
