In its first week on the Japanese market, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds sold roughly 224,000 copies. This resulted in an 83.47 percent sell-through rate for Nintendo.

A Link Between Worlds climbed to a total of 297,215 units by the end of its second week. The game’s shipment sell-through rate also rose to 96.84 percent.

While Zelda: A Link Between Worlds’ performance is down compared to Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks, Nintendo has intelligently handled the game’s shipments. Spirit Tracks saw an initial shipment of 600,000 copies, but only ended up selling through half that amount for its release. Ocarina of Time, like A Link Between Worlds, was handled much better as the first shipment was slightly more than 182,000 copies, which created a 90.02 percent sell-through rate.

A Link Between Worlds will need steady sales in order to catch up to Phantom Hourglass, one of the best-selling portable Zeldas in recent times. Total sales for the DS title hit 900,000 units in less than two years. Ocarina of Time also sold rather well with sales hitting 560,000 copies by the end of 2012.

Nintendo will be announcing its latest financial results at the end of the month, and it’s certain to create some buzz. That’s a few weeks off, though.

In the meantime, analyst David Gibson has shared some insight about Nintendo’s upcoming results. You can find a roundup of his tweets below.

Nintendo has revealed some strong stats for the 3DS in 2013, highlighted by the platform’s sales that have surpassed 11.5 million units in the US.

The company also revealed today that over 16 million packaged and digital 3DS games were sold last year. That’s a rise of more than 45 percent compared to the 3DS’ game sales in 2012.

In other news, Nintendo has confirmed several release dates for upcoming titles. Yoshi’s New Island will release on March 14, followed by Disney Magical World (the Japanese title now heading west) on April 11.  Also remember Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, which launches on February 28.

You can find Nintendo’s full announcement below.

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.
