01Net has published a couple of new rumors about the 3DS. As we saw with Wii U, they have been spot on with some of their speculation, but inaccurate in some instances. With that said, don’t put too much stock into these rumors just yet.
The first rumor 01Net has shared is that the Nintendo is preparing a 3DS attachment that would act as a right analog stick. Shigeru Miyamoto has previously said that the company intentionally left out the additional circle pad because they felt that players use their fingers to play, and that would essentially replicate the same experience.
Here’s the relevant excerpt from the 01Net article:
We found out earlier today that Xenoblade Chronicles made it into the top ten rankings of the UK charts. It was unclear, however, how many units were sold. Although we still don’t have a precise figure, it seems that the title sold less than 6,600 units.
This is just one territory in Europe, so I wouldn’t be too disappointed about these sales. Also, it’s an encouraging sign that the game sold under 6,600 copies in a about a day and was still the third best-selling game on the individual formats chart. We’ll have to continue watching Xenoblade’s sales over the next few weeks.
