3DS

Per usual, Nintendo has issued its response to the latest NPD report.

Wii U sales were their best ever in the U.S. for the month of December. Additionally, total hardware and software sales in 2014 rose by over 29 percent and over 75 percent respectively compared to the previous year.

Let’s not forget about the 3DS! The portable experienced its largest month ever for first-party software sales. Super Smash Bros. for 3DS has already sold over two million combined physical and digital copies while Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire have moved over 2.6 million physical and digital units.

On the amiibo front, figure sales “are nearly twice the sales of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.” That means close to 2.6 million amiibo have been sold in the U.S. thus far.
