Nintendo has announced that the Nintendo 3DS is the fastest selling console during the first ten months in Italy. According to the press release issued by Nintendo 243,700 Nintendo 3DS consoles were sold in the first 44 weeks after the launch, in comparison the Nintendo DS and the Wii sold 108,000 and 63,600 units respectively. Also of interest is that Nintendo had 72% of the handheld market in Italy during 2011.

All we’ve been getting today is great news… non of that Pachter or Sony rules thing.
Who else noticed only good news and that video on the last 3 articles?
Me XD
I’ve already streetpassed one Italian region. ^-^ (There are 20 in total.)
This made my day
This made my day better and more epic.
Still not sure if I want to buy one :/. Nintendo has been disappointing me in terms of its handheld games for the past, well, awhile.
It’s a brilliant console if you buy the good games.
With out the games there is 3D camera (Or non 3D), Face raiders, AR games, 3D amount or off.
Really with the console at $165 it’s a bargain… and i mean real. Better then the DSI witch costed more.
Anyone else put your opinions or if anyone trolls then i will spray you with something special.
>witch
HAHA OH WOW
Here you go. Some trolling.
Heres something to spray at you troll

God, what an idiot…
Go learn some english.
Hey!
I’m brilliant at english because i know how to spell advanced =p
you can always get a vita, i dont judge. but you could wait until the next big pokemon or zelda games come out, i mean those games alone would make me buy a 3ds asap. but thats me of course.
Kinda weak due to the fact that the only competor was PSP… :/
If the DS was kinda weak, how do you define the PSP?
I mean that it would’ve beated it by far more because the PSP is bad :S Yes, I said it! PSP is BAD… Vita might be good though… but the PSP failed so hard…
If Sony doesn’t cut their Vita shipments to Italy, maybe we’ll see some real head to head competition, yeah? :D
Actually, the PSP was kind of successful in a way. It was the first handheld console to sell as much as it did that wasn’t made by Nintendo. But yes, compared to DS, it failed :)
It was a bit…
I played it in my local store a week ago… it’s screen was massive… o_o And was playing uncharted 3.
it’s graphics were equivalent to the first X box to me.
you was playing uncharted 3 on a PSP, and its graphics where like the first xbox?…wtf.
Bear in mind that it’s a hand held and first Xbox graphics are quite good.
Better then 3DS =p i’m serious nintendo fans but 3DS 4 ever
*better then 3ds graphics
1) uncharted 3 is not for PSP, its for PS3
2)im not sure if the PSP ‘graphics’ are the same as the original xbox, but they are very similar to the PS2 though.
3)i cant understand you.
Oh!!! i ment PS Vita!
I forgot to say vita!
It’s between X box and 360 graphics really and uncharted 3 was PS V.
Why am i such a dummy at times =P
Think I’m more surprised at that 28% that Nintendo didn’t have.
What is it?
fface it evenn withh tthiiis ninnteendoo isss doomeedd,,, niintenfagsss
I need to spray this at you… http://rochellemoulton.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Troll-Spray-10-25-2010.jpg
hahah thats hilarious
XD SO MUCH!!! =D
Stop posing as an anon. You’re making us look bad.
Your an anon O_O
I am from Italy! Good news, BTW I’m between those 243,700!
2011 and 2012 are the years of Nintendo. Not only it’s the fastest selling handheld in Japan and here in America, but in Italy as well!!!!!!!
Except in home consoles, 360 took 2011 :/ *sigh*
It’s obvious the 3DS has made an incredible come-back.
The analysts were wrong.
The skeptics were wrong.
The competition was wrong.
Even though this is only Italy, we see 3DS sales rocking the charts across the other countries as well. Maybe not at the same marketshare percentage, but certainly crushing next-gen competition like the Vita.
Way to go Nintendo.
cuando sacaran un I-carly para el nintendo 3ds? se venderia como virginidades enlatadas hahahahah just kidding…ya quiero Wii U
Can you stop posting A mix of random languages! even a reader of the language your trying to say will not work.
mAYBE JUST KIDDING IS WHAT IT IS IN THAT LANGUAGE. =o
it’s spanish :/
It’s the just kidding part…. it’s in english :/
Is the metal gear solid snakeskin 3ds out in Italy?
Unexpected? I think not!
Im guessing the 28% is the cell phone market.
XD YOUR NAME!
Excellent news for Italy! I definitely see the 3DS gaining much more momentum throughout all of 2012.
Vita will be discontinued within a year, mark my words…
I shall mark your words using the Game Notes app of the 3DS. XD
Nintendo dominates once again. Expect the same when the Wii U launches.
L’Italia ama il 3DS! E mamma Nintendo! :D

This doesn’t surprise me at all. The PSP is all but dead, and Nintendo is obviously focused on the 3DS versus former DS lines.
