3DS Fastest Selling Nintendo Device Ever!

The Nintendo 3DS has been flying off the shelves since its release. In fact, 2 days after it went on sale it has managed to sell a frankly staggering amount of units in Europe alone!

Just two days after going on sale, Nintendo 3DS has helped put 3D technology into the hands of everyone. Selling 303,000 units across Europe in the first two days, Nintendo 3DS has become the fastest selling Nintendo handheld device over a launch weekend.

In the UK, Nintendo 3DS sold over 113,000 units during the first two days of sales, establishing a new record for the fastest selling Nintendo console ever in the UK, even beating the number achieved by Nintendo’s market leading home console Wii.

Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo’s new console which offers portable entertainment in 3D without the need for special glasses, allows you to play games in full 3D, take 3D photographs and enjoy unique engaging applications that will offer a new surprise every day.

“Nintendo 3DS allows people to experience, for the first time, 3D technology on the move and at home, with fun and surprises for all to enjoy. With the built-in pick-up-and-play Face Raiders game and StreetPass feature adding new dimensions to the already diverse line-up of launch titles, Nintendo 3DS has struck a chord with gamers old and new,” said Laurent Fischer, Nintendo of Europe’s Managing Director of Marketing & PR

As you can see, despite the hefty price tag they are selling like hot cakes! So if you want one, they are available to buy for around £187 though different store prices may vary.
