Congratulations! By the way, I have seen you many times doing that misguided comparison (Oh you choose the apple and oranges route, the one that you allegedly don't like..), passing 3ds software sales is not a big feat... Since is very easy for ps4 to do it, 3ds has almost no third party support in general (only in Japan is in a somewhat better position), it's a console that relies mainly to its mother Nintendo and first parties...

Also 3ds doesn't have like ps4 a new (sequel) call of duty, a fifa, e.t.c every year (annual releases) or tons of third party games every month (of which, many are major).
This comment is not for downplaying ps4 but to show how easy the achievement is...

3DS's releases this year (which also are the major ones), was only Zelda Majora's Mask, Animal Crossing happy home designer and Monster hunter 4 for the west... Ooops and the Xenoblade x New 3ds port...
Do you wanna start enumerating ps4 one's? It will take a long! Hmmm, you would say 4th year of 3ds vs 2nd year ps4... However, PS4 4th year won't differ much from its second one, because annual sequels e.t.c...

 

Thats not PS4 Problem or Xbox One Problem ! Its Nintendos Fault, so what a Shit Argument in my opinion^^ 

 

No its not. The 3ds has 50ml units sold and Activision hasn't brought CoD. Now you can blame it on power but even if the 3ds was more powerful look how they treated the 360 and ps3 ports of bo3. 



It's really impressive... the attach rate is crazy for this point of the gen. Can it cross 1B by the end of its life?



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Not trying to downplay YOUR argument but the bit about annual releases not on a Nintendo platform is laughable at best. To the best of my knowledge, pokemon is an annual franchise. Mario gets yearly releases on all fronts. Is yokai watch yearly? And even of some of these titles do release every other year, to act like 3DS sales haven't relied on tried and true IP is a part of reality that remains to be discovered. 



On topic, that's a good number I take it? You didn't provide any software numbers for previous Sony platforms within similar time frames, so I am not sure how to read this.

That's pretty good.

I'm not sure what you argument is. I'm not making fun of you opinion because I might be missing something. You want to discount software sales because the same games isn't on Nintendo consoles? I'm not sure if there is any reasonable logic behind this.

Sh@t? Aren't any other words, polite? Or you just don't have manners? (there is no intense discussion, in order the word that you chose, to be justifiable)  

Nintendo's fault? We're talking about 3ds, handheld console , not the wii u, home console...

Nintendo  handheld consoles anywise, hadn't ever the specific third party support  of the sony home consoles (or generally any third party support in a somewhat equal extend,  excluding ds which can't be in comparison,  it was out of Nintendo's/market standards, the sales, some consumers, time e.t.c , therefore its unfair for other  Nintendo's HC to be compared with ds, -but even ds special third party support doesn't reach the certain one of sony home consoles- it's hair splitting to develop the reason why I excluded it),  since those games doesn't fit  to the handheld console gaming (at least technically) and perhaps there was no room for them, so far) with 3ds having almost none, so they didn't have it once and then they lose it, to Nintendo have a fault!s?

 Also, it's not a argument since I'm not trying to justify anything, is a description/explanation of a situation, debunking of a misplaced comparison ...

Writer behaves like the feat was too difficult, so by extend a great attainment, I find it very easy and expected for the reasons, which I detailed!  ps4 and 3ds doesn't have level playing field, with 3ds being the underdog (software wise in general). if you like apple with oranges comparisons, I don't care.

If ps4 was relying on its first party mostly and it was surpassing 3ds, and that at any early time, then it would be a huge achievement... Now it's  a simple unsurprising occurence!
