3DS topped all gaming hardware in 2013 as the best-selling device in the UK. PS4 won out in the consoles race, but Nintendo’s portable ended up out-performing other systems overall. New releases and the launch of the 2DS boosted the handheld’s sales, MCV reports in its latest digital edition.

Mutant Mudds started out as a 3DS game, but it’s now out on a bunch of different platforms. In addition to Nintendo’s handheld, the game also landed on the Wii U, PS3, PS Vita, PC, and iOS.

Yet despite the many platforms Mutant Mudds can now be found on, 3DS remains the game’s top-performing platform. Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham said on Twitter last week that the studio has “made more revenue on 3DS than all other platforms combined”.

He wrote:
