Wait, N3DS can play games the un-N3DS can play? That would explain why NPD is tracking them differently.

Nvm, read your Q wrong

WiiU should be ~94K, not 98K

Wii U increase MORE than 20% comparet to last yaer. More =/= equal

+20% can be even 21/22 %.

Wii U in 2014: 131,500

Wii U in 2015: 159,000/160,000

So, Wii U is at 97k/96k

20% is most likely rounded up, not down.

I will steal the math from GAF:

131,000 in January+February 2014 x 1.2 = 157000

157k - 63k in January 2015 = 94k

So happy for Monster Hunter! And Kirby didn't do as bad as people made it to be.

I'm very impressed by COD. GTA, AC, etc... Selling so well after 3 months. Smash U and Mario Kart 8 are even more impressive, exclusive to one platform and still selling so well in the U.S.

All in all, good on Nintendo to find a strategy to prolong the life of their handhelds and getting people to buy them again. It may be dodgy but, hey, it works for them.

Yeap and people hating will just keep on hating. Strange as this world is

For those comparing, the kinect SKU might be a better comparison.

You can play all Xbox 360 games with a Kinect SKU, but you can't play all 360 games without one.

The gaf guys aren't accurate at 100%... of course, 99% or more, but a difference by 2-3 k happen (We want talking about the 7k-10k difference PS4 to XBO in Nov NPD )
