The 3DS is the top selling platform of the past year in Japan

19 Comments

Enterbrain in Japan has shared that the 3DS was the top selling platform in Japan in the past year, beating all other consoles with over four million units sold (a figure that was matched in North America). As expected, Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land were the two top selling games.

      The 3ds started bad as well (not as bad as the vita, but bad) and even though I would love to see Sony say they can’t continue producing them and recall all their devices, we still aren’t sure of the threat it might posses

    Actually David i think it sold 4 million worldwide, not 4 million in each country

    I have both handheld systems and i can say there both good handheld systems, but the fanboys always claiming that their system is the greatest thing in which case it is not. Most of them try to compare games like Mario Galaxy to Uncharted which very different genres games.

    • Soeroah

      Aye. I’m sure I’ll like both handhelds, but seeing all the Sony fanboy hate directed at Nintendo has caused me to feel a twisted glee at watching the Vita fumble the same way as the 3DS.

      20% price cut in 2 weeks? Least the 3DS lasted a few months.

    BOO-YAH!
