Iwata on 3DS hardware/software sales – 3DS almost at 3 million in Japan, Mario Kart 7 sales
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Satoru Iwata provided an update on 3DS hardware and software in a new interview with Nikkei.
The Nintendo president said that Japanese hardware sales are close to reaching the three million units sold mark. The DS achieved this goal two weeks later in the same timespan. Iwata feels that the 3DS could hit four million units sold before its first anniversary.
In terms of hardware sales overall, Iwata noted that the 3DS, as expected, has sold very well once the system’s price dropped in August. October saw high hardware numbers but low software sales because players were waiting for the launch of numerous high-quality titles.
Mario Kart 7 sold around 420,000 units in its first week in Japan according to Iwata. Compared to the last portable Mario Kart, 7’s sales nearly doubled those of the DS title. Mario Kart, along with Super Mario 3D Land, are performing better internationally thus far, Iwata said. Although Iwata believes that the holiday sales rush began two weeks later than usual, Nintendo will be very interested in the performance from overseas sales.

– “one of the scariest games ever committed to handheld, and a spectacular return to form.”

GamesMaster also praised Revelations’ environments, storyline, and overall scares.
