The 3ds should be put on a hardware chart of it's own, the other 3 are just all merged together in a line of "not the 3ds".
Vita starting to pick up a bit tho that's pretty cool to see, hopefully a few more systems in peoples hands might convince devs to throw it a bone here and there.
Great to see handhelds doing well. The PS4 trend spikes made me chuckle.
Hope PS Vita turns around.
