Either the 3DS absolutely plummeted or those are wrong numbers.

EDIT: There we go.

[Scum]

People spent their 3DS money on the WiiU.

Edit: You did that on purpose, Chris!

Very nice, seems it has a stable fanbase.

[vareon]

Looks like people are buying Taiko no Tatsujin for their Wii U instead!

[Phazon]

3DS is a beast O_o

[Coldplay619]

Goodbye PS3, good numbers for Nintendo all-around.

[Frillen]

Nintendo entering beast mode.

[liger05]

Huge 3DS number!!!

[squall23]

GO TAIKO! Beat that OG2nd and PLvsAA!

[BadWolf]

Vita says wait, all might not be as green as it may initially seem.

'Nintendo Land'

88.3% of hardware sales last week were Nintendo's.

Mistake with 3DS numbers, should be around 200,000 (and therefore above of the PS3!)

3DS hardware numbers are wrong, you forgot LL.

Up until last week 4Gamer wrote "3DSLL" (all together) and this week they wrote "3DS LL" (with a space). It was a problem to me, I guess for Chris1964 too.

[nickcv]

what are 4 PS3 title doing in the Nintendo software chart?
/trollface

[Four_Chamber]

3DS selling 20x as many units as Vita

I can't imagine how much longer the Vita can survive. I still chuckle at those crazy projections Sony had for the Vita- they had to be predicated on gangbusters sales in Japan which is clearly not going to happen.

[stalker]

So the next goal for the 3DS is the Wii. It should be there sometime towards the end of next year, any guesses?

[Jamix012]

Strong Wii U Launch numbers, not specatacular, but encouraging.
3DS is a monster, but at least Vita is remaining above 10k.
Such a shame about Layton vs AA, does this lessen it's chance of coming overseas?
Good debut from Paper Mario, surprising for me considering it's reception is not quite as strong as the previous in the franchise.

[Celine]

Good HW number for WiiU, let's see what it doesn next few weeks and especially after the holiday.

3DS is skyrocketing.

Good Yakuza numbers, right? WiiU stole 3DS sales it looks like.

Nope.

[DGRE]

Terrrrrible 3DS numbers.

Edit: Hahahaha. I guess Chris mistyped it at first. 3DS killing it.

[Bumhead]

Crazy numbers for the 3DS. Passed PS3's LTD.

I wonder how long it will take the Wii U to surpass the Vita LTD. That shouldn't really be a contest but I'm curious purely based on the amount of "lulz Vita outsold Wii U" headlines and rants from the UK and Japan launches over the last 2 weeks. Suppose we won't have a clue about that until at least next week to see how it's holding up.

[liger05]

The thought NFS, AC: Liberation and COD were going to skyrocket the vita sales. They were the big hitters and they had very little impact.

3DS is a monster, but at least Vita is remaining above 10k.

Things are really bad then when just being above 10k is seen as a positive.

[frankie_baby]

So the next goal for the 3DS is the Wii. It should be there sometime towards the end of next year, any guesses?

Maybe sooner if Mon hun 4 gives it a big enough boost

[LayLa]

PS3 has been on sale for 317 weeks
3DS has been on sale for 93 weeks

[Celine]

Goodbye PS3, good numbers for Nintendo all-around.

PS3 is still doing decent numbers considering it's a 6 year old system.
Vita on the other hand ...

[vareon]

'Nintendo Land' 88.3% of hardware sales last week were Nintendo's.

That's a good PR for Nintendo, lol. 80% of hardware sales and 3DS passing PS3 ltd.

[Frillen]

The thought NFS, AC: Liberation and COD were going to skyrocket the vita sales. They were the big hitters and they had very little impact.

People were crazy for thinking that. NFS is just a port (a good one though), AC is a spin off which recieved good but disappointing reviews, and CoD Declassified, well... We all know how that went.

[StreetsAhead]

That's a good PR for Nintendo, lol. 80% of hardware sales and 3DS passing PS3 ltd.

Add in that the 3DS LL has out sold the Vita LTD in less than half the time and we have a deal.

Seems pretty good, considering 3DS hasn't had nearly as many RPG's as DS had had by BiS.
Yeah or neah?

[Kenshin001]

Nice numbers for WiiU. Nintendo are really good with their advertising. The ads I've been seeing show the gamepad with games, videos, the Google homepage, it's clear exactly what it does. Just straightforward, what the customer needs and wants to see.

[Smiles and Cries]

Welcome to Japan charts Wii U

Shame the ads in the west are not like that.

[slaughterking]

Nice to see the budget release of TriG on 3DS doing well.

[Lord_Byron28]

Lots of 3DS titles resurging such as nsmb2, MH3, style savvy, taiko, Mario kart etc.

[electroplankton]

Pokémon starting to show legs, as expected (not by someone, though).

[Road]

1 down, 3 to go:

[gashikunFLCL]

3DS holyday season mode, and all that 50% rise for software. wow.

[Alcibiades]

WIU | 308.142

It Begins.

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

I wish Nintendo could replicate this success in the west.

[vareon]

We'll see the legs. The reception of Sticker Star seems divisive.

[frankie_baby]

Pokémon starting to show legs, as expected (not by someone, though).

Will almost certainly rise next week

[ElTopo]

I wish Nintendo could replicate this success in the west.

I wish we'd get some of the games Japan gets and if possible not half a year (or even more) later.

[StreetsAhead]

Wii U attach rate is 1.15 with just those four titles, but since the rest sold sub-8,000 it's unlikely to climb that much, haha.

[DGRE]

So the next goal for the 3DS is the Wii. It should be there sometime towards the end of next year, any guesses?

I am going to predict the end of June/beginning of July.

Is there any chance the 3DS will cross 10 million this year? Haha! I remember someone was trying to say it wouldn't cross 9 million...
