With this week’s Media Create sales from Japan, the Nintendo 3DS has surpassed the Nintendo Wii in lifetime sales. Nintendo’s 3D handheld has continued to annihilate the competition in the hardware category, as week after week it hangs on to the top spot without a whisper of a refusal to budge. Sales of Monster Hunter 4 over the past couple of weeks have propelled the handheld to further heights as well, but the constant flow and ebb of 3DS games within the charts has also given the hardware a solid platform to rest on.
Currently, the Nintendo 3DS is sitting high and mighty on sales of 12,752,73, while the Wii takes a back seat at 12,698,878 – an incredible feat for a system that’s been on the market for approximately, or just over, 2.5 years when compared to the Wii’s seven, since its launch in 2006. The Nintendo 3DS is sure to reach dizzying sales heights in the future, what do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
3DS best selling console at the end of its cycle confirmed…
Den bærbare voldtektsmaskinen.
Inget kan stoppa den…
Xeske’anerne vil gi inn med sine vinduer telefoner og dø.
What demonic language is this??
U mad?…
Chinese probably. If it’s a language you can’t understand and it isn’t Chinese, it’s probably Arabic or Korean.
Because all of those languages use the Latin alphabet.
Its the Greys language.
I thinks it’s Finnish or something like that
No son, it’s Swedish and Norwegian.
So close. Swedish en Norwegian girls are pretty
Som inte ens fungerar ahahahahahahah…
Haha den råtne telefonen stopper opp av ingening. Den er så gammel at den ikke klarer å bruke stokk en gang!
Så sant…
Synd att Xbotarna köpte Nokianerna…
Æsj! Det viste jeg ikke, nokia fortjente ikke slik en grusom skjebne.
Tyvärr är det så men jag läste att Nokienerna är snart på gränsen till att gå under så kanske de drar med sig Xbotarna till en viss del…
Forhåpentligvis vil de dra med seg noen ingen troende til den fordervete dal, vårt imperium vil leve med Nokias offer.
Sant…
Hoppas bara at Högsta Befäl gör bättre ifrån sig så snart som möjligt…
Du er en skitten fitte og jeg hater deg
Vært på nettet i det siste?
Gå tillbaks till din Breivik och stanna med honom inlåst…
Men jeg er homofil og døende for boms moro
???…
En som kjeder seg på min bekostning.
Aha…
Ja den apan måste dö…
Jeg ønsker å ape rundt med deg;) la oss spille “slipper såpe ‘
Det går ikke, da detter den av.
Haha…
För upptagen med mitt liv tyvärr…
I will never see monkeys the same again…

Det var en god ting at breivik knerta mest mulig av ungdummen i dag, politiet gjorde en god jobb med balja som var lekket i stykker. Men det skal man ikke snakke om fordi politiets inkompetanse må ikke nevnes for det er jo en dårlig jobb å bruke en lekken balje.
Jag hoppas att Norge låser in sådana som Breivik för gott…
Samme her, men han kommer vel til å slippes ut til herregårds fengslet i en nærmere fremtid. Han klager på at det er så trangt i den cella si så. Han får ikke strekt beina sine godt nok, eller hva en han sa.
Haha så patetiskt…
Han tror att han är överlägsen men han står inte ut med kallt kaffe…
Ja, det er sant. Han kalte det for tortur. Ikke likte han gummi skrivesakene sine heller, var for ukomfertable og vanskelige å skrive med.
Tortyr…
Ahahahahahahah han är för rolig…
Som sant skal sies, han er den ukronede kongen av ufrivilig komedie.

It deserves it, love my 3ds ( love my Wii U 2 )
If I have to be completely honest, the 3DS might become my all time favorite console soon…
pikachu’s nipples.
Wow!
Not really surprised, it has significantly less competition.
Yea there’s nothing out to compete against it right now. Not vita not Wii U nothing
Smartphones and I pod touch
Yet you brought up Smart phones and shit like that. Now you wanna play dumb in saying nothing is competing with it.
What ?
Will doesn’t everyone in a developed and emerging country already have a 3DS by now? That’s what’s shocking.
I don’t!
are you okay?
And is there even enough room for the 2DS, if children already own a 3DS?
They need to replicate and surpass this success in NTSC and PAL regions as well.
over 12 million in Japan? That is like 1/3 of the whole global sales of the console. Japan are very much liking Nintendo.
It’s a conspiracy! #NHK
Japan sure loves 3DS’. I’m starting to think people are stockpiling these special editions and various models of the 3DS in Japan. lol
News at 11 man in Japan bricks own 3DSs and makes house out of them. In a related story 3DS sales up 200%.
Yea, I have 3 different special edtion 3DS’s and I plan on getting one of the Pokemon X/Y editions.
This describes the feeling the best for these games…
And just wait for Pokemon X & Y to arrive next month and it will definitely distance itself from the Wii. So many more will be sold come October 12th. I am so glad to be an owner of a 3DS. So many high quality games and experiences!
It will be in a league of its own…
u reckon it could sell more than the DS lifetime..?
It has the potential I must confess…
It all depends if our empire keeps producing quality games as they have done for a little more than 1 year now…
Final fantasy 9 and 12 on the 3DS make it happen square Enix. Dragon quest 11 confirmed :).
Holy fuck! O.O I knew the 3DS was doing really good but surpassing the Wii in the same lifetime period is ridiculous.
Also, the 3DS might be my favourite Nintendo handheld ever, I really like it, sorry GBA, you’re still cool :P
Bringing Pokémon in will really help it soar in the West as well. Anyone remember all the 3DS naysayers of 2 years ago?
In 2 years the same will be said about the Wii U and then the Xbots will be crushed for all eternity and sent to the void…
I think that 3ds really deserves this. This is an amazing handheld and an amazing console.
I had a wii u and i didn’t like at all so i get rid of it but 3ds is probably one of the best consoles ever and i’ll still loving nintendo as long as they still making consoles like this.
3Ds low sales at start, wii u’s hope.
3dssssssssss är bäääääääääääääääääääääästtttt
nu kolla på denna: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Ys36w4H1o
I’m not surprised, the 3DS is without a doubt one of Nintendo’s best consoles (Home or Handheld) and the list of games released on it so far have been nothing short of excellent and there’s still alot more to look forward to before the end of the year (Zelda, Pokemon).
3DS outsells the Wii’s lifetime sales in Japan, and all this days before X and Y come to the party.
Staggering, in all honesty.
Anyone wanna see my balls
well yeah. it’s a great little handheld with a wide selection of awesome games.
This can’t be true. I’ve read everywhere that handheld gaming is dying, growing bigger.
And everything the analyst say must be true, otherwise I don’t know what to believe anymore…
Not growing bigger*
Wow…just wow! Good for Nintendo and its fans!
And just think, the 3DS used to be in the same position that the Wii U currently is. I hope the Wii U can turn things around the same way.
I myself am waiting for something I might be waiting FOREVER for…..a. new color. I’m hoping for a green, red or blue Wii U. Even a silver would be better than the black. I know a color isn’t what makes a console. But Nintendo does this every time. I go out and buy the current color. Then they release cool new colors, and I get ticked off that I didn’t wait.
This is the first time I’ve EVER held off on buying a Nintendo console. I’m DYING to play Pikmin 3, but I’ll remain patient.
