Nintendo Sold 19,000 New Nintendo 3DS Faceplates At Launch

That isnt a lot but thats understandable given New XL sokd more than the standard..
Sold*
Thats a tiny number. Squirt!
That’s alot
Chaching! Chaching!
I wonder how much it would be if they also gave the New 3DS LL Changeable faceplates…
I legitly no only hesitate getting a new 3ds in the slightest knowing that there is a Boo faceplate,
Well since only 70,000 regular size new 3ds’s were sold, I’d say that’s a pretty damn good number. Almost one third of every 3ds sold! So if they sale five million 3ds’s, you could assume over one million faceplates would sale too.
Nintendo is maximizing thier profits. This is why Nintendo has been around for over a hundred years.
19,000 people are gonna regret allowing the faceplates to steer them into buying the small new 3DS instead of the superior XL.
Your opinion=/= fact. I have an XL but I plan on getting the New regular 3DS.
Yeah, I also have an XL & plan on getting the New regular. The plates are part of it, so are the colored buttons, but mostly I’m tired of my portable devices growing & growing; 3DSes or phones, screens or otherwise. & I’ve long fingers, too.
Yep. That’s my reason too. Plates and colored buttons.
Menu themes and faceplates is money for the N.
