3DS XL Sells Big in Japan over Opening Weekend
It seems quite a few Japanese gamers were holding back for the first 3DS redesign, as the XL sells a whopping 200,000 units in just two days.
If the figures are accurate the 3DS XL tops both the DSi XL (100,000) and the original DSi (170,000) in terms of opening two day sales.
Nintendo announced just last week that it had sold an incredible 19 million units to retail, although how many of those have been sold onto consumers is unknown.
If the fantastic XL sales weren’t enough, Nintendo also shifted 430,000 copies of New Super Mario Bros. 2.
