more than 395k?

Does this mean there IS a chance the PS4 outsold 3DS?
Dang Wii U tracking was pretty darn good. Within like 4k.
Nintendo 3DS is Best-Selling Hardware Platform in February
The one-two-three punch of New Nintendo 3DS XL, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate helped Nintendo 3DS become the top-selling hardware platform in the United States in February. All three products launched in the United States on Feb. 13, and even with only 17 days of data being reported they were able to accomplish the following:
In its 48th month on the market, the Nintendo 3DS family sold nearly 395,000 units in the U.S. The great majority of these sales were New Nintendo 3DS XL systems, which sold 130 percent more units in its initial frame than Nintendo 3DS XL did when it launched on Aug. 19, 2012.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D was the top-selling title for the month with more than 515,000 combined physical and digital units sold. The game is now the fastest-selling Legend of Zelda hand-held title in U.S. history.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate sold more than 290,000 combined physical and digital units and is now the fastest-selling Monster Hunter title – across all platforms – in U.S. history. In addition, the game has the highest Metascore of any Monster Hunter title and is also Capcom’s fastest-selling title on the Nintendo 3DS platform in U.S. history.
Through the first two months of 2015, sales of Nintendo 3DS hardware have increased by more than 90 percent over sales in the same period in 2014.
Nintendo also saw strong results for Wii U, which had its best year ever in 2014 and has continued to build on that momentum in 2015. Specific achievements include:
So far in 2015, sales of Wii U hardware have increased by more than 20 percent over sales in the same period in 2014.
Life-to-date sales of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and amiibo have surpassed 1.5 million total units and 3.5 million figures, respectively, an attach rate of nearly 2.5 amiibo figures per game unit sold.
The momentum for Nintendo software and systems should continue over the next few months thanks to a strong lineup of software that includes Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. (Nintendo 3DS, March 13), Mario Party 10 + Mario amiibo bundle (Wii U, March 20), Xenoblade Chronicles 3D (Nintendo 3DS, April 10) and Splatoon (Wii U, May).

3DS sold 395K. N3DS sold most of that, but no idea of the proportions. If someone can figure out what 130% of 3DS XL in Aug 2012 is then we'll have a number for N3DS.
It also re-raises the question of whether NPD separated teh 3DS and N3DS numbers to give PS4 a not really win. I don't see PS4 getting 400K.
If LoZ 515K is physical and digital sales does that mean the whole top 10 is physical and digital? If so it gives us absolutely no clue about VGC tracking of any game.
Glad to see The Order in the top 10. 515 Phys+digital >The Order phys + digital >290 Phys+digital.
VGC has The Order at 291K physical. Which is certainly possible. MH4 probably doesn't have huge digital sales (guessing) and The Order 291K phys + 10% digital is certainly well within the realms of probability. Therefore VGC estimation for The Order is good enough IMO. So the Order not overtracked, but lots of games under tracked.
Pretty damned good VGC estimation for LoZ, possibly slight overtrack, though who knows what proportion of the 515 is digital, could be only 2-5%.

Wow, there might actually be a chance that the PS4 > 395k.
