Thought folks might find this interesting. This data is courtesy of Aquamarine back in 2013 plus a couple additions from myself.

I haven't put 2015 in the chart yet (since it hasn't finished and the holidays are still coming up), but here are their year-to-date totals for week 44:

3DS - 1,493,768 (-33% Year over Year)
PS4 - 942,406 (+24% Year over Year)
PSV - 756,392 (-23% Year over Year)
WIU - 519.306 (+21% Year over Year)
PS3 - 174,788 (-58% Year over Year)
XB1 - 15.177 (-59% Year over Year)

Good stuff! DS 2005-2010 are all in the Top 20 all-time years. 3DS 2011-2014 is in the same spot. 3DS 2015 seems to be ending that streak, though.

Oh hey someone saw the thread :). Thanks Donny!

I also found it was interesting that Wii sales in 2010 are actually slightly higher than PS3's top sales in 2009. I presume this could be different on Media Create though.
