I would be impressed if I didn't already know how poorly 3DS is doing. The New 3DS will have to sell really well if 3DS is to be a decent success. Right now it's looking like it won't even catch GBA with more years on the market as Nintendo's No.1 handheld.


Its a changed market, "poorly" is relative.

The Market continues to change... anyway Bravely default has probably hit 1mil with digital. Vgchartz has it at 960k so it probably has passed the 1 mil mark as well.

Smash and Alpha sapphire/Omega ruby will push it to 33 along with the holiday season boosting those near to 1 mil over it.

All things considered, it's not a lot, only 30 million seller in 4 years for the only handheld relevant on the market. PS4 should have more next year


I think it is impressive, the handheld market has shrinked a lot, so for this console to have more than 30 million sellers (and 90% are first party, mind you) I think is great. Of course PS4 will have more than 3ds but thats comparing apples to bananas.



3DS FC :  4339 - 3326 - 7693. Add me :) Nickname Tin

Sad thing is that most of them are because of Japan. 11 alone in that region!

Its not a "probably" Squeenix confirmed it passed 1 million in July.

Good spread but its surprising to see there are so few BIG sellers. Only 5 games with sales above 4
m?

I would love to get an idea of how each game is doing digitally...
The last time I checked (which was a few weeks ago), Link Between Worlds was the best selling game from this list ln the North American eShop...



Have a nice day...
