Humm, so PS4 is at nearly/above 400k?
Or at least, VGC said 360,000 for 3DS... (if have outsold 3DS)

VGC has global PS4 LTD tracking exactly right as of now. Which means it is highly unlikely that VGC has undertracked PS4 by any substantial amount. So that leads to only one conclusion: 3DS sold considerably less than VGC estimated, and Nintendo PR at the time of N3DS launch was probably shipments.

OTOH someone has suggested maybe NPD has split 3DS and N3DS numbers, which may be an explanation. But that would be pretty unusual for NPD wouldn't it? N3DS is a pretty different piece of kit compared to 3DS, but it's still just a 3DS upgrade / refresh, not an entirely new product.

I don't know who but there is a member of Vgchartz who proved that Ps4 was undertracked in 2015 and overtracked in 2014.

Anyway, I don't think that the Ps4 was first in february but this "VGC has global PS4 LTD tracking exactly right as of now." not completely true



Good for Monster Hunter



“Xbox One’s fan base continues to grow with record February sales in the U.S. for Xbox One and 84 percent more consoles sold compared to January 2015. In February 2015, fans spent an average of 74 hours on Xbox Live in the U.S. – three times the amount of hours the average user spends on social networks*. And, Xbox Live set new records, quadrupling global gaming hours on Xbox One and Xbox 360 in February 2015 compared to February 2014. We are grateful to our fans for choosing to play on Xbox One. Offerings and experiences will continue to expand with Xbox One and 'Halo: The Master Chief Collection' available together for $349, new games launching this month including 'ScreamRide' and 'Ori and the Blind Forest,' hundreds of new ID@Xbox games in development, and plans to make gaming even better on Windows 10 and Xbox.” – Mike Nichols, Corporate Vice President, Xbox Marketing, Microsoft

Will be intersting to see if PS4 and PS Vita numbers are right.
Also to see if Wii U and 3DS are overtracked in USA, will be passionnant.


So looks like not bad for Nintendo huh? :)

What? 



XBO: 280k



So, on software side, VGC definitely undertracking Dying Light and NBA, and overtracking The Order.

Are we sure nintendo isn't talking about WORLDWIDE sales for 3DS?

No.

There are three possibilities...

1. NPD tracks 3DS and N3DS separatelly... so PS4 > both not combined

2. Sony was talking only about home consoles.

3. PS4 sold more than 395k

Edit - There is a third possibility lol

We should be able to eliminate number 2. Everytime PS3 sold more than the other consoles but less than handhelds they specifically said best selling console. This time they specifically said best selling hardware. Number 1 is a strong possibility, if the hardware is tracked seperately, PS4 could still be ahead of the N3DS and 3DS individually. PS4 selling 400k would be great for the industry, it means that the Xbox One sales might be healthy as well!  I hope that's the case.
