September 2011 NPD: Various sales results
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Star Fox 64 3D – 130,000
3DS Flame Red – 79,000
Kirby Mass Attack – 66,000
Bit.Trip Complete – less than 1,000 units
Poor Bit.Trip Complete… The thing is, I don’t find its sales to be surprising. It’s always felt more like a niche series in spite of the fact that all of the games were of very high-quality.

Nintendo DS Crosses 50 Million Units Sold
The best-selling video game system in U.S. history reached another milestone in September: Lifetime sales of the Nintendo DS™ family of systems have surpassed 50 million units, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States.
“The Nintendo DS forever changed the gaming landscape, and the fact that consumers continue to embrace the platform is a testament to its value and mass appeal,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Our hand-held story continues with the Nintendo 3DS system, which just had its second consecutive month of growth and enters its first holiday season with a monster lineup of games, including Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.”
