UPDATE:
Lifetime 3DS sales in the region now stand at 4,135,739 units, or over those of GameCube’s lifetime sales (as counted to this year: 4,040,000 units) – impressive stuff considering that 3DS has only been on shelves for around ten months. In fact 3DS has sold at a faster rate than the mighty Wii, which was on sale for 54 weeks before outselling GameCube’s lifetime figure.

By selling over four million units in Japan, the 3DS has beaten out the GameCube’s lifetime sales. The 3DS stands at 4,135,739 units sold while the GameCube moved 4,040,000 units.
The 3DS reached the four million units sold mark at a much, much quicker pace than the GameCube. Nintendo’s latest handheld has only been out for a few months, yet has already reached the milestone.
