3DS shifted an additional 10 million games last year

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments

A new report published by IDC and App Annie reveals that the 3DS shipped an additional 10 million pieces of software last year compared with the year prior, resulting in 30 million games sold in total. Across all handhelds, Pokemon X/Y, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon were the top three grossing titles.

3DS certainly performed well in 2013, but smartphones blew away all portable competition. 75 percent of 2013’s handheld share came from Android and iOS devices, according to the report.

As a whole, boxed and full-game digital spending on portable systems increased nine percent between 2012 and 2013.
