April 2012 NPD: 3DS outsells DS in first 14 months in the market

After the 3DS’ inital rocky start, it’s pretty amazing to see how quickly the system has managed to turn around. The 3DS has been doing very well since last year’s price drop, reaching sales goals left and right.

Last month, it hit another milestone. According to USA Today (via NPD analyst Anita Frazier), the “3DS has outsold the Nintendo DS by about 1 million units in their respective first 14 months in the market”.

4.5 million 3DS units have been sold in the U.S. in its first year.
