Wheres Skyward Sword?!??!?!?!
Good question =O =/
I wish Mario Kart 7 continues selling well! It’s so so fun!! =D
That’s extremely likely as both its predecessors sold way past 20 million.
Same would go for a New Super Mario title.
Number 36.
I knew someone would ask that
But did you know they’d be first? xD
When will people stop asking this, as it’s been said so many times. Zelda isn’t as popular in Japan as it is in the West
Mario Kart 7 blew my mind.
“Blew”? =O
I think you conjugate that verb incorrectly. You should have said that verb in present =D even in future haha. I can’t stop playing it *_* hehe
Wait, so it’s supposed to be “Mario Kart 7 blow my mind?” (I think not!) And it’s supposed to be “I think you *conjugated* that verb incorrectly.” I think you conjugated that verb incorrectly. :O
Go nintendo
I like this news!
And in America Nintendo was last place :-/
Nintendo has yet to reveal Nintendo 3DS sales figures for North America. Pachter says they are “solid”.
Which means they’re probably liquid, gas or plasma.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
^
Win.
epic
Theres shinobi, waiting for hateing.Once again your comments prove ur bias, so y waste time reading or posting here? I love when bullshit gets countered with facts, my hat tips to u, site host
Winscar why are you always so negative about nintendo? Please name one Sony exclusive that has sold over 4 million worldwide in the year 2011. I get you don’t like nintendo so that brings up a question why do you follow and comment on a nintendo news site?
infamous 2 i think but nintendo games r better but it is awsome
I really want to play that Monster Hunter Tri G, is that the one that has the 4 player local coop?
Amazing to see how Mario Kart DS makes number 60 despite not being bundled and being released in 2005! No other game on that list is that old!
Wow I can’t believe that Monster hunter freedom unite bested Monster hunter Tri G
1. More PSP’s than 3DS’s
2. Freedom 3 was available for the entire year while 3G came out 3 weeks before the end of 2011.
Take your pick.
Wrd
But if i read this list right it means they sold almost 3,5 million copies of monster hunter last december when it was released. Quite number.
Maybe the biggest reasons for not so good sales per game this year can be that there was more good games and people had less money in japan because those tsunamis.
I have yet to buy Wii Sports Resorts… (played it at my friend’s house, I’ve played it enough) Nice to see though it’s still in top ten
Excuse me while I pretend to act surprised
What is Final Fantasy type 0 and why isn’t it here???!!!
That’s AWESOME. Btw, this is my first time posting here, i normally stick to 3DS Blog.
hmm, yeah i remember seeing Mike s somewhere!
i love yoh nintendo, but the only game im excited for on this is ToX :(
come on namco, bring it stateside!
Everytime there’s a new Top 10 list, I get more worried about Skyward Sword.
It has been on hardly any of them.
Skyward Sword isn’t nearly as popular in Japan for some reason. Plus, it was released just 40 days before 2012, so not everyone who wanted it got a chance to get it. The fact that it got onto any of the Japan lists is an achievement.
