3DS surpasses 20 million units sold in Japan, Splatoon over 1 million
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
This week’s Japanese sales numbers include two big milestones for Nintendo. One is all about hardware, and another applies to one specific game.
First, 3DS has sold over 20 million units in Japan. It’s also important to mention that Splatoon has now sold over 1 million copies in the territory. The game likely already reached that number with digital copies included, though Famitsu’s data officially confirms the figure with physical units. It’s a nice way for Nintendo to close out the year!

Fantasy Life has shipped over one million copies worldwide, Level-5 has revealed. That figure includes units sent to retailers plus digital sales.
I actually just wrapped up Fantasy Life a little while back. Knowing that the sequel is a mobile game bums me out!
