Damn, that PS4 number is pretty impressive. And the gap too.
OMG GUYS GUYS
This might be one of my best months ever! Do we have any estimates for 3DS? Hopefully I'm not too far off on that.
Looks like its maintaining that 20% YoY.

Nintendo better have something good with NX to go against what's become a dominant market leader.

Ok, instead of reposting the entire thing, if you want to see past years of January to February comparisons, look here. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=196822577&postcount=2
Now then, I will go with 405k as the PS4 number, as that is a nice looking number

Yikes at Street Fighter V being below 210,000 units, it will be a great contender for the biggest bomb of this generation. Even Super Street Fighter IV sold more with only 5 days of tracking.
There is no way Street Fighter V will come close to reaching Capcom's forecast of 2 million units shipped by the end of March unless retail channels are flooded with unsold copies.
Here is a launch comparison (physical copies) between Street Fighter IV and Street Fighter V in the 3 biggest regions.
Street Fighter IV
US - 849,000
Japan - 124,000
UK - 88,000
Total - 1,061,000
Street Fighter V
US < 210,000
Japan - 42,000
UK < 24,000
Total < 276,000
Street Fighter IV shipped 2.5 million units worldwide for the period from February to March 2009. With nearly a 75% decline at retail I can't imagine Street Fighter V shipping more than a 50% of what Street Fighter IV did back in 2009, Steam and console digital sales can only do so much.

They don't.
They have said as much. Their intention with NX is to be a bridge of many things: unify development, have hardware to go along the competitors and support for a 3-5 years period. It has never been intended to take over the PS4. But live along it.
Barely counts as that was released at the end of February.
Though a Fire Emblem Fates 3DS was released along the game on the 19th.

The Pokemon limited edition N3DS?
When Nintendo needs to prop up their numbers they just release a new version of the hardware to milk their shrinking fanbase again and again.
the two reasons i can think of is that fire emblem fates is at least a little bit of a system seller, and that there isn't any other dedicated handheld gaming system in the market.

JFYI, SF5 have 2 SKUs, and the sum number is better than Naruto PS4.

ROTW has gotten bigger in the 7 years since SFV as well. While I don't know if they'll meet that 2 million target (it probably depends on how willing they are to aggressively drop the price), I think it'll probably get closer to 1.5 million than the 1.25 you're thinking.

I wasn't joking when I said February gap would be large and PS4 would kill it.

I'm still somewhat surprised the PS4 is up YoY after the big holiday sales. Sony have been smart with bundles. CoD bundle doing work. Guess this is the year the PS4 starts pulling away in the USA. Definitely explains the bigger MS focus back to PC.
Might be the last Street Fighter in a long time.

Its hard for me to envision a scenario where SFV has good legs to be honest

I don't see how Xbox One is gonna catch up... crazy.
That really depends. I mean, they still need to finish development and release the game...oh wait, you mean they released it early and it isn't finished?
Yeah, they won't see that 2 million target until Ultra SF5.

It will never catch up. In fact it will fall further behind at larger percentage than any other year this gen. 2016 is the year the PS4 really pulls away as we've seen in the past 2 months

Xbox 1.5?
the xbox one is never going to catch up. the race in the us was really the only one where things were even close. the truth is the platform will probably not sell 50 million units worldwide without a big change in direction, while the ps4 should easily double that number.
i think us fans are a bit spoiled in that they were able to witness some kind of competition, where they could pretend that the dedicated industry was healthy and growing.

Nintendo please said:
Like what?
Looking at Awakening those are huge ripoffs, I mean some of those are quite literally cheats.

If that hits in 2016 it could be interesting. It actually might get announced at E3 yeah

XB1 needs help badly. I can't imagine that it will get any better for microsoft anytime soon.
What's your problem?
