Kerotan on 29 June 2016

Just noticed recently that this has happened.  There was a time when this looked impossible but it did it. 

359m vs 358m.

How to Make friends In Dark Souls 3

Kerotan don't forget one thing in this... think about how much digital sales of software there is on the DS compared to the PS3 :)

also check out my thread on the latest super sale on psn which includes over 150 titles reduced on the ps3

Mgs 4 is seriously €5 on that system now, like... there must be millions and millions of digital sales for it even in these late years.

Piracy destroyed the sales of DS and PSP games.



Arlo on 29 June 2016

Makes sense. A massive amount of DS's were bought for one or two games, like Brain Age. Same as Wiis.

  It would be valid to make a thread  if ds software sales tracking by vgc  hadn't been a disaster! Fortunately,  for all others consoles, software sales tracking sales by vgc, has been pretty decent!



 shipments  vs 812m sales for vgc! 136m on the shelves, for ds, nowadays? Noway (  reasons are self-evident ) ! can't fathom why there  is such a huge error, ioi never recongnized the problem?

 

( So some of that immense deficit must be in the USA )

Close to 1billion games sold on the DS hardware.... but piracy destroyed that? All of my what.

Grats to Sony in that regard. Wonder how the gap is in regards to WW though?

Tons of ps3 games are undertracked too and don't forget all the extra digital sales.  PS3 has beaten the DS in America for software sales.

This is not the first week I've seen ps3 software outsell xb1 software.
