The 3DS Sells Like Crazy Over The Holidays

The 3DS Sells Like Crazy Over The Holidays

None

Perhaps the only reason the 3DS wasn’t doing so well was because it didn’t have a major holiday to sell it.

Just over Christmas week, the 3DS has sold over 500,000 units, a new weekly high. This pushes the handheld past the four million mark, and it’s still climbing.



Of course, another reason for the 3DS’s success might be the huge slew of first party titles that just came out. Mario does have the ability to move consoles, after all. Mario Kart 7 sold just over a million units, as did Super Mario 3D Land.

Of course, the promise of great games to come may have boosted these numbers too. Personally, I can’t wait for Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright.
