No surprise there about the bestselling 3DS game.

1: nintendo would have sold more had it stuck to the DS release price
2: Nintendo deliberately held back zelda or mario titles so a third party could have the best selling game (really good move)

^ I think Nintendo was sort of betting that people would be willing to pay anything for the 3DS, despite it having few worthy titles at launch.

They were wrong.

That said, its still a solid start, and when Nintendo's titles come, I think the people hanging back (like me) will break down and buy the system.

I doubt the price will drop anytime soon- at least not until a revision is out. I'm in no rush to buy one, but I am willing to pay full price for it.

Seems very good sales to me.

No games appealed to me at launch, but the inbuilt stuff is fantastic.

�£100 and �£200 is a big difference.

I've just traded Street Fighter for Pilotwings and I'm much happier with it now. SSFIV was technically the best title, but I just can't get on with it and it was a chore to play.

Well I think those figures are VERY low, don't compare them with the DS, don't compare with last time was near Xmas...Nintendo were supposed to have it sewn up, and everyone who was anyone was meant to be queuing up to buy a 3DS. I would have expected the US sales to get to 750,000, if not a million, given the size of the country and population! Perhaps the Americans are smarter than we give them credit for, and are all waiting for the 3DS Lite

Please, please, please release that awesome red 3DS!
