Nintendo of America have announced via a press release that day-one sales figures for the Nintendo 3DS were the highest of any Nintendo hand-held system in the company’s history.
Nintendo of America have declined to offer exact sales figures stating that those will be reveal once the NPD Group releases its report on the first-week sales early next month.
U.S. day-one sales numbers for Nintendo 3DS were the highest of any Nintendo hand-held system in our history. More details about U.S. sales numbers will be made public on April 14, when first-week U.S. sales figures will be tallied by the independent NPD Group. Nintendo worked hard to get as much product as possible to retailers on day one to meet demand, and we will continue with these efforts moving forward.

I definitely added to that figure. I love mine immeasurably.
It’s definitely a fantastic console! Let’s hope they continue flooding us with fantastic new releases.
This goes to show those cocky smartphone game developers that console gaming is not dead. Amazing sales in every region it has released in, and it is tied with several home consoles for nintendo’s most expensive console as well. Just wait for the sales when there is a price drop.
But I gotta say, I love mine,it’s awesome
I got my 3DS on Launch day! I love it! I didn’t experience the “black screen of death” yet, but otherwise, this system is fantastic! The battery life is short, but I can deal with it or buy a battery pack.

Nintendo: the best games on the best console. or at least that’s what they aim for, and it pays off!
Smartphones are great, but their gaming abilities always suffer in favor of other things a smartphone needs to do.
Nintendo, I love you!
