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

N3DS can play new games for N3DS only... 3DS not... both can play 3DS games.

Should that not be counted as a new console then?

Pretty sure it is and that's why they said 3DS family/platform.

Nice 3DS numbers!

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

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

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 )

Any way, Wii U in 2014 have sold 49,000 in January and 82,500 in February 82,500+49,000=131,500 x more than 1.2 = +94k is easy.

As i said, Wii U is 95,000 to 97,000.

Lol, I don't think it's worth arguing over a difference of of less than 5K, either way.

Also you're comparing Wii U sales when it has Smash and MK8 to when it does not have Smash and MK8 (Which are still system sellers)

No because its a 3ds.

When is new HW launched with 0 games? Japan had N3ds for almost half a year with not 1 N3DS game!

I will go with 94K and you go with whatever number helps you sleep better at night.

When May comes around, then we will see the momentum that the Wii U picked up from those two games

You have agree, but for be correct...

Any way, 94k or 97k doesn't matter, for Wii U is not bad. :D
