Nintendo has now sold more than 11.5 million "3DS family" units in the United States alone, the company announced today. Worldwide, Nintendo has sold more than 34.98 million systems, meaning the U.S. market makes up about one-third of all sales. Importantly, Nintendo counts 3DS XL and the 2DS as part of the "3DS family."

Gamers also bought a record number of 3DS games in 2013, Nintendo said. The company sold over 16 million combined packaged and digital 3DS games last year in North America, an increase of 45 percent compared to 2012.

On a worldwide basis, Nintendo has sold more than 122 million 3DS games.

"Nintendo 3DS is a powerhouse with games and experiences that appeal to all kinds of players," Nintendo of America marketing executive Scott Moffitt said.

Moffitt added that the "best days" of the 3DS are still to come in 2014 and beyond. To that end, Nintendo also announced today that Yoshi's New Island will launch March 14 in stores and through the eShop. The new Super Smash Bros. game is also coming to 3DS sometime in 2014.

Worth to note is that that 34.98 million worldwide number is as of September 30th.

Haha, just was about to ask if VGC has 3DS overtracked by 7mil :lol:

ok that really does need to be said lol  Was really wondering about those number on the front page for a moment lol

@Op that is awesome. Prob one of the best consoles ive owned :)

11.9 here as of the 28th with our software sitting at 120 Million.

The 34.9 Million Worldwide was from September, where we had the system at 34.8 Million.

Good tracking, we will probably see an adjustment based on NPD though by the looks of that 11.5 Million number.

Is 11.5 million as of when? Otherwise 3DS is over tracked by like 1.5 million in US

Edit: forgot about Canada in 'North America'. Does that mean approx 1.5 mil 3DS' sold in Canada alone or is that too high?

nice tracking by Vgchartz.

Hardware sales tracking is pretty much spot on, software though is a different story. Behind by about 30 million so far.

"On a worldwide basis, Nintendo has sold more than 122 million 3DS games as of September 30."
Vgchartz had it at roughly 90 million at that stage. Am I misreading something?

If the system is a powerhouse, what would they call the PS consoles?
