The New 3DS and DSi are very comparable products in their nature. Neither system is a true leap to the next generation of Nintendo handheld hardware, but both act as notable upgrades over their predecessors. Given how similar the New 3DS and DSi are – at least in their purpose – it’s interesting to see just how similarly the two systems have sold in Japan thus far.

The New 3DS and New 3DS XL have sold over 500,000 units in five weeks, according to sales tracker Media Create. As it turns out, this was the same case for DSi. That system released on November 1, 2008 and sold over 500,000 units in five weeks.

Nintendo has issued a response to this month’s NPD report.

The highlight this month is Super Smash Bros. 3DS, which has sold 1.2 million combined physical and digital units. Thanks to a strong October, the game moved 485,000 copies and is the best-selling handheld title of the year. Smash Bros. 3DS is now the tenth 3DS game to sell at least one million units in the U.S.

Nintendo also mentioned Wii U in its statement. Thus far in 2014, hardware and software sales have increased by 47 percent and 84 percent respectively.

You can find Nintendo’s full response to the October NPD report below.

Pre-orders for the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. have exceeded those of Mario Kart 8, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed. Reservations thus far have managed to set a record for Wii U.

Fils-Aime told Bloomberg News:

“The launch of Mario Kart 8 has essentially doubled our Wii U sales year-on-year. Presales for Smash are stronger than the presales for Kart. So our expectation is that the sell-through for Smash is going to be very strong, certainly on par with what we saw with Mario Kart 8. We think the impact on hardware will be similarly dramatic.”

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U launches on November 21 in North America.
