wait... let me see if I understand this correctly. Two games, plus an upgraded 3DS that doesn't have amazing sales, is enough to take on a year and a half old system (still basically new) that has had the majority of their games in the top 10 for the last few weeks now, not just two and people start to lose their minds when it does over take it the 4 yr old system... Not to mention that the price doesn't really mean anything otherwise we'd see the Wii U doing a lot better as the Wii U is cheaper.... I still don't follow your logic very well

Still don't understand why people keep talking about the age of the 3DS like an excuse. The Ps4 did better in 2014 than the 3DS in its best year so actually the Ps4 best year will probably be much better that any year of the 3DS. 

3DS did great in february but it is not groundbreaking for the launch of a new version. Actually I am much more impressed by the numbers of Zelda MM than by the N3DS. 

And let's not forget that the DS, Ps3, X360 had better numbers in their fourth february in USA than in their 2nd. So the fact that we are comparing the Ps4 during its 2nd february and the 3DS during its 4th february is not irrelevant. Actually I think that Ps4 slim lauched in the same conditions than the N3DS would have done much better than that.

If 3ds was outselling ps4 in the US this year someone else definitely would and you'd not be complaining.  Same for a lot of people. There's nothing wrong with my thread.  We are on a sales site. 

The 3DS did outsell the PS4 in February. Only one thread was made and only in response to this thread (by a non-Nintendo fan no less).

People are complaining because this thread holds little purpose. Everyone knows PS4 will sell more than a handheld entering its fifth year.

3DS outselling the PS4 is news worthy because it rarely happens. The other way around isn't news worthy at all.


Have you a link to that thread?  And you know the reason none was made?  Because the npd thread is pretty much this sites official 3ds February victory thread.  

 

I'm sorry but that 5th year excuse holds no weight because it didn't beat it for February plus January any other year!

 

And it's news worthy because ps4 didn't have a new model releasing. If I made a prediction thread pre xmas most people including me would have thought 3ds would be ahead after 2 months.  Incredible victory and if March goes ps4s way it's really pulled this one out of the fire.  Defeated goliath so to say.

Thanks man. 

 

I assure you there is no agenda.  It's a simple comparison for 2015 between the two best selling systems in the US.

No one would have thought that. There's a thread here with a poll on which console would win NPD February. Over 60% voted on the PS4.

3DS isn't goliath. PS4 is.

Ps4 was David and it became the goliath.  This pretty much confirms it.  16 months after launch and it's still at launch price it just beat the top handheld of its gen. And it didn't just beat it's 5th year. It beat all of its other years January plus February too.  

 

This year was the 3ds peak regarding good starts for the year.  This comparison makes so much sense.  It was reasonably close so it's not like comparing the vita to the ps4. The 3ds actually had a chance. 

 

All relevant info in the opening post.

I just proved to you that the vast majority thought PS4 would outsell 3DS in February.

So PS4 can't have been David. It was Goliath and it got toppled by the 3DS. For one month. Nothing more, nothing less.
