New Nintendo 3DS sold faster than any remodel of the DS and 3DS family of systems at launch in Japan.
☆ NintendObs Event – Nintendo Q2 FY3/2015.
Here I would like to tell you about the current situation of New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL (known as New Nintendo 3DS LL in Japan), launched on October 11 in Japan in advance of markets overseas.
The sell-through results of the two models combined was 234 thousand units, which is the largest first-week sales of remodeled devices we have ever released. New Nintendo 3DS XL has been more popular and was out of stock at many stores. We are sorry about the shortage of supply.
As you can see from the graph, the sales momentum was maintained in the second week
And third week. We feel that the new “super-stable 3D” function, new “C” stick, and accelerated CPU of the new models have been well-received by our consumers.
With the new models in addition to the consecutive release of games which could be double-million sellers, we are confident that Nintendo 3DS will establish a presence in the market in the year-end sales season in Japan.
Under these circumstances, domestic software publishers are eager to develop software for Nintendo 3DS. You can see a lot of titles here and I have also heard that there are many other unannounced titles to come.
Nintendo will also continue to enrich the lineup of software for Nintendo 3DS after next year.
— Satoru Iwata, President of Nintendo
