"PSVita - North America - 9,984"

"PSVita - Japan - 10,142"

3DS hardware is godly. NSMB2 on Usa....wow...
Wonder what Iwata is thinking about the bad sales in the west for Nsmb2 compared to Japan, which ironically was released for the western markets.

Edit: I said wow:

NSMB DS FW - 150k

USA DS installbase - 4.62M

NSMB2 = NSMB

People always do this with mario games not realising it will still be charting in four to five years. The sales are fine.

Halo: Reach to pass 6 million units by the end of September? (USA)

NSMB DS first week sales in USA

Yes, NSMB 2 outsold DS sales by more than 20k (not counting digital sales, which are pretty good if you have checked the eShop, but they do not provide numbers).

Comments on this week:

- Yeah! NSMB 2 sales! Take that haters!

- WTH? Ragnarok Odyessey released this week? Isn't it supposed to come out next month?

- Not sure if I should be happy or disappointed in 3DS hardware sales in US. It is the summer time and is in line with sales from other regions, but I expected it to do 100k this week. I guess the real test is to see how the sales are from now.

- Kingdom Hearts 3D has sold 300k! Way to go!

- Vita... I don't know what to say.

3ds is gonna be a beast this hollydays
