Pff, and handheld video game consoles were supposedly dead. The 3DS is doing great across the board. If only Sony would pull their sh*t together and better support the PS Vita


Japan has been looking really dead in the Hardware department, but N3DS will make it look so much better now

The question is for how long though? Is this a brief bump, or will it increase the sales significantly? Also, I think most of these buyers are already owning a 3DS, so few of these are actually NEW costumers, which is what is really needed.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Ohh shit, and that's just for two days. kidding, kidding.

Great numbers, much better than I had let myself hope for. Maybe the 3DS has some life in it yet...?

I figured that this would be the perfect way to breath new life into the 3DS and lengthen it's longevitiy.

Man, they should have brought n3ds to West earlier.
Along with smash Bros 4 3ds or pokemon.

Trust me a sure they would have had it not been for trying to push WiiU and having to produce so many more units so quickly
