Nintendo 3DS nears six million (NA) + new bundle

GS has the story.

Also announcing the new bundle: A flame red system with Super Mario 3D Land

Thoughts? Sorry if old.

A flame red 3DS? Wasn't it already discontinued?

Great to have updated numbers on US totals.

I miss 3D land :(Grawse

If they anounce Bravely Default for US will get a huge spike in sales, this game is the only good thing to come out of Square in years and reminds of old amazing FFs like FF9, than the FF13 garbage series, which are some of the worst games of all time

Nintendo is crazy to keep the game away for so long, but i guess will push Square to make it for US

Im gonna sell my Vita i think. Not because its bad but because im not using it. Tired of wating for games. I already had a 3DS when it came out and i loved it. But it also had no games so i got rid of it until more games would come out. Alot of 3DS games have come out since and the 3DS XL looks much better. I might get the White 3DS XL with Mario Kart 7 pre installed:?

Im really going to miss FIFA on the vita though.

In all honesty I don't see that game making a huge spike in sales. If it had FF in the title sure, but it doesn't.

I have to agree that I want it though :).

wut, I got the red 3DS with Super Mario 3D Land bundle ages ago...?siLVURcross

3D Land was great, especially for a handheld Mario experience. Would love having that red 3DS instead of my Aqua Blue :(

That much more than the vita?

Btw Vita is around 800k in the US, thanks for reminding me.

That's 12% marketshare.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think I remember the latest NPD we had Vita at 35k and 3DS somewhere around 230k? Well that's 13% monthly share.

Meaning it won't catch up in terms of % at the rate both systems are currently selling.

VGC has the worldwide overall share at ~12.5%, as well as the weekly rate also ~12.5%.

Massive decline from PSP's 33%.

Good game, good salesMFDOOM1983

[QUOTE="Grawse"]I miss 3D land :(charizard1605

I still haven't bought one.

I came really close though, but ugh my backlog really makes it hard to buy new game stuffs. I'm hoping that by the time I do get a 3DS a revision will be out.

I'm slowly finishing mine.

A few I probably won't play, but I did have like 100 or so games. Now its like down to 40 or something like that.

Same with me. I had 140ish games a couple years ago, and I've finally whittled it down to around 38 I think was my last count. I'm playing Alpha Protocol, and Mirror's Edge atm. I've picked up a lot of steam in the last month, and have completed around 6 in the last few weeks which is good for me. I don't think I had beaten a single game in the other 10 months of the year :P Shouldn't be too much longer until the rest of them are completed especially with the holidays coming up!

Nice man :).

Yeah I completed Mirror's Edge literally like 3 weeks or so ago. Just finished up Beyond Good and Evil and Crysis recently (well again for this one just cuz).

My next will probably be FEAR (if I can get it to stop doing that stupid mid game lag problem) and hope to get Bastion done as well. Maybe Alan Wake too if FEAR isn't working well.

The only issue with all this is my gpu is starting to get funny on me though making noises and stuff, so sooner or later I may need to replace it. I'll just go with a cheap 560ti methinks.

Yeah :( kinda had too. Got good trade in value with Drakes Fortune. I beat the game, but would still like to fire it up and give it another go.Grawse

Not regretting selling my 3Ds but I'm glad it's suceeding. Hoping Vita gets a decent turnaround with Blops regardless of it's quality so that a good game like Killzone:Mercs will have a decent audience

Already have the Zelda 3DS, but this is a good deal.

Why would i get banned ?

Now NA just needs to bring over Bravely Default and Fantasy Life.

Nintendo 3DS 2013 Games Line up Leaked?

"As you can see Bravely Default and Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney are listed as being released in that year, along with quite a few Japan only titles.

However, its still just a rumour. And while its a plausible enough one (all the games shown are from well known series that would probably sell okay outside of Japan, and many have already been confirmed for a worldwide release), its also not exactly the hardest thing to fake, since anyone with an image editor could mock up a picture identical to the above.

But yes, looks like a potentially accurate 2013 3DS game line up. And hey, Project X Zone is listed! "

Hopefully this rumor comes true

I could care less for this bundle. If Nintendo releases the limited edition yellow pikachu or black charizard 3DS XL bundle in the US, and I'll stand in line on the first day to buy it.

Nintendo is missing one game

and that's a new generation pokemon game on the 3ds

Pokemon is the only game that can push numbers in america, mario is known for great legs but pokemon is known for blockbuster sales straight of the bat

Plus these numbers are pretty bad, ps3 has been outselling the 3ds in america pretty easily this year.

Meeeper282

Well it hasn't been out for that long anyways. I honestly didn't know the ps3 has been outselling it here either.

The next Pokemon will probably be alittle while. Black/white came out 2011 so it will probably be around three or so more years if they are going by their normal Gen switch dates.

I see. I didn't know about the 360 outselling it this year but I was almost certain the ps3 wasn't. Clueless sarcasm is too easy on the net :P.

Except for last month, the ps3 has been outselling the 3ds in north america

Damn, I really need to get a 3DS. Don't know why I don't already own one to be honest.
