Damn NMS is at #1.

I'm not surprised, people love streaming it and people love watching the streams. This thing's going viral even before release. If Sony don't have a bundle I'm going to personally save up the money, fly over to their headquarters, and cuff Shu around the lugs.

Yeah i dont get it, too. I mean its time to drop or at least add another Bundle to Cod and No Mans Sky would be perfect, lets hope they will make one.

Also you would have one Bundle for Multiplayer/Singleplayer people.

The 3DS numbers are not that insane though because according to Nintendo, 3DS shipments were down yoy for April-June in US. Meanwhile they happened to be up yoy in Japan amazingly.

Would they not stay on par with last years numbers?

Last July and August had 3DS at ~104k and ~77k.

Who said 3DS sales are insane? Also why are you talking about shipments April to June? 3DS sold 283,000 unit Apr-Jun 2016 VS 338,000 in 2015, we already knew sales that quarter are down.

This has nothing to do with the nexts months, 3DS was up YOY in June, and will easy beat by a huge margin July and August 2015 numbers.

Noone said they were insane, I however did say they were not that insane.

@bold, Thats the point, they were down a significant amount. If they are up as much as you say in July and August that means the shipments will be up yoy significantly.

June was up barely yoy. I can understand the sales being on par or slightly up yoy due to pokemon go.

My question is why do you think it will be up so much yoy?

They could sweeten the deal even more by throwing an older game in bu throwing it into the COD bundle would mean hiking the price, so:

PS4+No Man's Sky+Journey = $350

That would be in the top 10 for a very long time.

We already saw that in many countries 3DS was up MOM ans YOY, like in Italy and UK.

And well You Are in an Amazon Thread, so, so Can see Amazon Trend as well.

Nintendo shipped a number of console in June, and they probabily didn't expect that insane success for Pokémon go, indeed on Amazon 3DS was Sold out for example

I think in the next few weeks we will be hearing something. And they have other games that would probably be better for sales than Journey and No Man's Sky imo. While I personaly already have Journey and will be getting No Man's Sky that bundle would not be as enticing as well the current BO3 bundle which is selling like crazy because people want that game.

I think they should do a mix of games to reach different people like UC4 and say heck Destiny or something or even BO3 still. So people will look at it like I want this game and will give ther other a try. I just gave random games but you get the idea lol.

Well I didn't think it would reach number 1. Shaun appearing on American chat shows would of helped reach mass market.

It's #1 on Amazon US, UK, and on Steam.

The hype is real. I hope this game does well. Looks to be worth the AAA price tag.
