Life-to-date Japanese 3DS sales to hit 4 million units sold before 2012

Earlier this month, global Nintendo president Satoru Iwata shared expectations that the 3DS would likely hit the four million units sold mark in Japan before the end of February 2012. He would be pleased to hear that the system will reach this goal well ahead of schedule.

According to Nikkei, it could happen as soon as next week. Thus far, the 3DS has moved 3.6 million units based on Enterbrain data. Nintendo will, at the latest, sell four million 3DS units in total before the end of the year.
