It's possible the PS3's second May may eclipse the PS4's too. Interesting gen this one.

Super likely at this point, PS3 was over 200k in May NPD of 2008...

MS on another epic Spin... 81% growth over May 2014 (that was very bad).

I..don't see the spin here. They give a percentage of growth every time there is growth.

they using the best information they have to not say they weren´t first and that the numbers aren't great.

I'd guess maybe 150k for Splatoon in 2-3 days? Not bad at all.

If 3DS is down to 68k though already so soon after the New 3DS launch ... that's terrible.

Ya if sales are down that low than something is really needed to boost sales in the summer, perhaps releasing the smaller "New" model could give a decent 1-2 boost but that's not really a long term solution.

Well game wise they've pretty much exhausted all their IP on the 3DS, not sure what they could release now that would boost sales in that sense. Metroid is the only main Nintendo IP not really accounted for on the 3DS and that's always been a franchise more on the niche side.
