Forums - Nintendo - Famitsu: New Nintendo 3DS sold over 230k during launch week-end! Also MH4G sold 1.6mil

Great numbers but how will it look six months from now? The 2DS also revitalized the handheld scene for a while but then it tumbled right back down. I hardly think that this is any kind of indication that the 3DS will experience growth in 2015, in fact; I think it will be down yoy by a fair amount (at least 10-15%).

Incredible sales. I was expecting much lower.

It is less than what I expected, 3DS sold 285k last year with MH4 release. The amazing numbers here are those of MH4G.

like I said in the oder thread: "The N3DS launch will make things look like 3DS is doing extremely well and it is not the case because poeple are ditching their old console to get the new one just like PS4 and PS3 or XBOX one and 360 recently." http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=191447&page=1#

We need to wait some months to know if it is actually doing well.



Oh C'mon bro. N3DS did extremely well 260k is amazing, last year numbers were one of the biggest ever. If you compare launches N3DS kicks ass!

Yes we need to wait overall how it does, but for now its doing amazing. looking at HW sales, the regular 3ds/LL model destroyed every othr HW last week alone. N3DS selling out everywhere, cant spin that :P



That's not that impressive.






JK. That's amazing. . I really think next gen Nintendo should stick to what they do best, handhelds. That way they don't have to worry about losing money in the home console biz and be pure profit, again. They can either make keep their exclusives on the handheld or go 3rd party just for home consoles.

Anyway, great numbers and they don't even include the normal 3DS SKUs. 3DS will definitely be #1 this week, with PS4 in a relatively distant 2nd.



Great numbers.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

I want one. Hate having to wait so long. I would have bought a Smash bundle if they had one. I saw the 3DS smash bundle but no point getting it when the new one is around the corner.

Whaaat? No waaii! That's just... insane and great at the same time I guess


Nintendo could release the exact same handheld with a Mario stamp in Japan and it would sell like crazy. Japanese people have always been big supporters of things like this.
