Forums - Nintendo - 3DS outsells PS3 in Japan?

That would put the 3DS at roughly 8.75 million next week, then. Meaning it used 652 days to reach 8.75 million in Japan.

For a comparison, the Wii reached 8.75 million week ending 15th November 2009,  a whole 1018 days after its launch. Or after 56% more time had passed.

The DS reached 8.75 million week ending 11th June 2006, or 556 days after its launch. In other words,  14% faster than the 3DS. This is slightly misleading, though, as it had two full holidays, while the 3DS has only had one and (roughly) a half.

The PsP took even longer than the Wii - 1211 days - but is still ending with more than 50% more than the Wii sold.

There's no GBA or Ps2 data for some reason, but the original Gameboy passed 8.75 million on 4th April 1993, or after 1444 days.

Finally, the SNES made it the first week of June 1993, after 921 days.

As such, the 3DS is -  of the machines we have data for - second to 8.75 million, only behind the DS.

2013 will also be a beast for Japan. Monster Hunter and DQ VII will release on the 3DS in its first 3 months o_O. Nintendomination for sure! Hopefully Wii U is as successful and that alot of Japanese developer will support the Wii U :D I'm hoping a Final Fantasy exclusive on the Wii U =D

I wouldn't mind that at all! Maybe another Crystal Chronicles game? I'm a sucker for those.



I wonder if it can beat the DS' gigantic JP total. Now that competition is pretty much non-existing over there, its looking promising!



                            

Sorry, stupid question! I know that this is not the topic but may it be, that the 3DS has surpassed the original XBOX globally? Acording to the latest weekly sales it may be the case!
