Rumor: 3DS XL debut sales in the UK “a little shy of five figures”

So the 3DS XL is doing pretty well in Japan thus far. How about in the UK?
While not confirmed, a report suggests that the system “shifted a figure a little shy of five figures” – that would be under 10,000 units. This may not seem too impressive, but keep in mind that the estimate is based on sales tracked over a 24 hour period, not a full week. It did manage to outsell the first 3DS by a factor of just over 2:1. When the 3DS originally launched, it was on the market for a full week.
The 3DS XL’s debut may have contributed to a rise in software sales. Mario Kart 7’s sales increased by 45 percent, Super Mario 3D Land climbed up 37 percent, and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games rose 25 percent.
