I like this comparison. Ps4 rapidly closing in on being the #1 overall console this gen. Not many would have predicted the succesor to the ps3 would take out the succesor to the DS. What a turnaround.
Alrhough the 2dsxl+metroid+US/UM is a thing so I don't think ps4 would be able to catch up while the 3ds is still in support... I can see the 3ds hit 80 mil when all is over. The ps4 might overtake it but only barely.
Of all the comparisons going on right now i find this one the most fun, its gonna be interesting to see when it will surpass it.
Eh, kinda meh comparison at this point, we have known for a while who's gonna win. PS4 vs Wii is currently the only comparison I look forward to in the future
