Forums - Nintendo - [3DS] 4 multi-million sellers in 5 months, a 1st for the Japanese market! 3DS has 10, DS has 14!

 

 

During the last investor meeting, Iwata said the 3DS would probably become the 1st platform ever with 4 different 2 million sellers in 5 months. Well, it did happen, and Nintendo just put out a PR to break the news.

 

Obviously, the four 2 million sellers aren't surprising:

Youkai Watch 2

Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

Monster Hunter 4G

Pokémon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire

 

Sales data goes up to Dec. 7, so that means that Pokémon OR/AS reached 2m (including digital sales) this week-end.

Number of 2 million sellers in Japan per platform:

3DS: 10

DS: 14

Wii: 8

EDIT: YW2.5 could be #5 which is releasing in next week! This also proves the 232k+ Digital Figure i said awhile back as Sold!

Hmm DS has 14 million sellers and 3DS already 10? That's doable, 3DS could beat DS on the million-seller front.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!!!!
3DS will easy outsell DS.



It's funny how the 3DS library was considered a bit barren for this year compared to last year, but then it manages this... of course that's because of the Japan specific titles (Youkai Watch and MH4, for now) and the games that were coming out were big ones.

Not million sellers, 2 million sellers



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Thats 10, with 11 going to be YW2.5.

that said it needs 3 more 2million sellers to tie with DS's 14!

YW3
YW3.5
Pokemon
MH5

Just 3 of these should do the trick :)



And people say handhelds are dead.

Wuh, that's impressive. Just noticed that 3DS already beats Wii. Wow. Wii had a much bigger install base and the time for game selling is not over for 3DS yet. Not bad.

Yeah. The 3DS has some insane attatch rates. Might have to do with the lack of easy piracy.

I don't think piracy plays a big role here. I think this shows more than anything else that 3DS is incorporation of Nintendos comeback to the hardcore-strategy after the blue ocean experiment with Wii/DS.
