UK trade publication MCV is reporting that retail outlets throughout the United Kingdom are now beginning to sell out of Nintendo 3DS consoles following the release of Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. The Metallic Red Nintendo 3DS seems to be the most popular version, with other colours also in short supply.
Great news!
Why is this ‘Great news!’?
Because this means that the 3DS is starting to really pick up speed in terms of sales after a not-so-hot first few months.
Uh… because it’s selling well and Nintendo is making money…
Because people are buying it. Why isn’t that good news? It means Nintendo isn’t gonna go bankrupt if this keeps up.
“Nintendo will go bankruptz!!11!!!one!!!1111eleven!!”- a random troll
Ha, not any more trolls :P
It’s because I’m and I don’t think like this. Um…does anyones online multiplayer not work on Mario Kart 7 even though your connection is full because mine does and I want to make sure its not hte game and its just a bug or not :(
I had the same problem, i found a solution with my router, i just desactivate the router and connected directly to the modem.
If you have a game router you should´t have problem tho
well everyone uses it, meaning 4 people which connects to a PS3 my 3DS and 3 laptops so maybe it has too much use? :|
Awesome news for the 3DS!!
Awesome news. Let’s hope that’s the same worldwide now.
Oh because it is doing well :D
>.>
huzzah! when do we get those sales figures?
You should check out vgchartz.com. They have very accurate weekly updates on consoles and software.
They’ve been kinda slow lately though, probably because of the holidays and some recent updates.
Good to hear :) I think 3DS will be pretty successful, especially as it gets more solidified as a new and worthy handheld with the great games coming out. Next year should be a good year indeed!
I certainly hope everyone saw this coming! :)
I did. it just needed games.
+1

good old Mario and friends! that is nice to hear that and could mean more streetpass hits for us when we take our 3ds out and about!
i think i am getting an ice white 3ds with super mario 3dland even though i have b;ue
thank god, i havent gotten a single street pass and i bought it at launch, the more the merrier :)
Yeah, getting streepasses seems kind of difficult. I barely have 190 Streetpass hits…
(Seriously, go to a gaming expo like Eurogamer or an event like the Zelda concert. You can get about 100 in one day, and also makes a great distraction whilst queueing.)
And those people that were saying: ‘The 3DS is dead :o ‘ :P
The Power of Mario
Hope the same is true in the US. I’ve got a 3DS to sell on ebay after buying the Zelda version on Black Friday, and anything to drive that price up is awesome.
This is also the proof that the problem at launch was: No Mario.
Awesome! Means its in high demand for Christmas
Well at least Im not buying one from the UK. If that happend where I live then id have to hold off on a 3DS and probaly just wait for the newer model to come out and go and preorder me a PSVita!
I feel bad for your wallet :P
Were any of you surprise? This thing could be selling at the original price right about now, but it lacked the games more than anything.Now that is no longer a valid excuse. Just in November, the 3DS sold a little over 900,000 units, just below the Wii which was second with over 1,000,000 units sold and the Xbox 360 which got first, and that was without Mario Kart 7. Apparently Mario Kart had a big opening in Japan. It’s almost as good as the MK Wii opening with such a smaller userbase.
It would happen eventually, thanks to Mario and his adventures.
Hooray for Ninty!
…still wish the US had that white 3DS color T_T
If only Nintendo of America would release a white 3DS already. Its the only thing I’m waiting for.
Problem 3DS haters?
Seeling out current stock of this dumb ass model ..
now middle finger to all of the people who bought it, here is the new 3ds model..
what? I didn’t understand a one word you just said.
