Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Japan: 3DS To Cross 4 Million Sooner Than Expected.

From article:

Two months ahead of schedule

3DS is on track to cross the four million mark in Japanese domestic sales by the end of the year, Nikkei reported today.

Nikkei sourced statistics from Enterbrain, a separate tracker from Media Create, which we use for our our sales data). For the third week of December (12/12 to 12/18), Enterbrain reported 390,000 units sold for the 3DS (a bit higher than the 360,000 units Media Create reported). This gives the system 3.6 million life to date.

With two weeks left in the year, the system will almost certainly reach the 4 million mark. It could even reach it next week as the year-end sales rush approaches its peak.

The 390,000 units sold is the highest weekly total yet for the system, renewing the record from the previous week, when the system sold 380,000 units opposite Monster Hunter 3G's release. These figures represent major year-end boosts for the system, whose average weekly sales total is 80,000 units.

3DS appears to be ahead of schedule in its approach of the four million mark. In an interview with Nikkei on December 6, CEO Satoru Iwata said that he expected the system to reach the four million mark within a year of its launch, or by the end of February 2012."

 

Great numbers for 3ds.

Good news for 3DS. Hopefully it has an excellent 2012 too.

That is a great mark! Are there any other games coming out soon in Japan? I guess that with it being the holidays it could still cross 400,000 next week, but a new game would help as well.

Ace Combat 3D -The January 12

Beyond the Labrynth - January 19
