3ds numbers are in the Op, lol.
I wonder if it can make up that deficit in Europe.

Close to 80k more for PS4.
Once that price drop comes in, thats fucking it.
That James Bond gif with the PS4 issues not affecting its sales are so god damn true. Because it sure as hell isn't The Order pushing hardware.

Yeah, I'll be surprised if we get a sequel
Edit: Though I have no idea how its doing in Europe, maybe that will be enough to make up the sales

You know I wonder if ALBW didn't sell because it was 2D.
Looking at Majora, it got great reviews, but ALBW was being heralded as being one of the most well made new Zeldas.
So what's the difference?

Going by that LTD pie, if MS goes "loco mode" once more come holiday time, and Sony continues doing pretty much nothing, that gap will switch sides.
Aqua should've embraced the pies.

What issues?
Don't forget our beloved Vita cream
Wonder how much the Amazon sale boosted PsTv's numbers
What does that have to do with the pie chart?

New 3DS ~ Xbox One
Black is better than red, and there is a bundle.

Giant Bomb and Gamespot seemed to not like the implementation of the gamepad among other things (As in most of your time is spent looking at it instead of the TV)

Digital could boost that number a bit, but definitely under 300k even including those

I was agreeing with you, it didn't make sense for cream to put 3ds numbers in an obscure chart, they are public.
It's obviously console sales.
Good opening for the N3DS. The $249 launch price for the 3DS was pretty much rejected by the market but seems $199 is a viable price for a handheld. Put your money on this being the launch price for the next handheld. Great sales for Majora and Monster Hunter. Upcoming software lineup doesn't seem that strong though so hardware sales could drop to fairly modest levels again over the next couple of months but the hardware revision has done it's job.
PS4+XBO have had a good month, especially after a surprisingly weak January. Was a decent month for software releases though and again the software lineup for the rest of the year doesn't seem that strong. It's a tough comparison with last year where there was Watchdogs and Destiny as well as Titanfall and next gen COD/AC. There also hasn't been many Japanese games so Bloodborne may struggle if the Japanese oriented audience has remained on last gen. Although conversely this may mean Bloodborne has a good effect on hardware sales for the month. XBO also doesn't have Titanfall to give March a boost.
Wii U has had a surprisingly good month considering it beat last years sales boost from Donkey Kong. Mario Kart/Smash Bros are no doubt still selling consoles and giving the console a higher baseline. Or put another way, consoles sell more because of the game library rather than individual system selling releases. With a price cut later this year or next year Wii U might even sell more next year than this year. It won't be a complete turnaround but Nintendo have managed to salvage the Wii U from a complete disaster to a modicum of respectibility.

That's confirm: 3DS "Family" > PS4 > N3DS = Xbone > Others
I'll be honest, I'm a bit surprised by that, I thought the old 3DS/2DS models would be closer to 75k
Surprised PS4 is so much higher than last February considering it still had launch hype back then. Even at $399 the system is still beasting.
A bad game killed sales after launch.

nice
LTTP but midlly surprised at the 3DS' performance and the PS4/XBOne. Maybe dedicated platforms have more life left in them than I gave them credit for.
And WOW @ The Order "discussion". People are absolutely frothing at the mouth at both sides of the fence. Not a shred of reasonsed discussion ITT. Its a little bit sad that its become the focal point of this thread for utterly juvenile reasons.

That's great. 352 in a "slow" month. What a beast the PS4 is.

Bloodborne is likely going to get a bunch of 9's and some 10's. Completely different situations.
Nice. Increases all around. Which bring me to the Vita...
Did Vita have any software release this month? How is doing? PSTV being sold with quite a few PS4's should have boosted alittle, right?
There were still 2 big game launches this month, neither of which are New 3DS exclusive.
Maybe MS fuckups this gen is like doing a favor for Sony? Superior hardware shouldn't be that much of a incentive.
Should I really be thinking such BS right now?
