Congrats 3DS you ain't a monster in specs, but you're a monster in hardware sales and software sales.

yeah i was playng mario tennis in 3D for the first time. it's cool but nothing special, it seems like they just move an internal back screen a little farther back. i still want one tho.

3DS - 71,708 (+155%)

How did that happen?

[raytraceme]

The new super mario bros. 2 happened.

[Squatch83]

Mario is not out in Europe for 2 more weeks. Itll be the added XL sales.

[Samus HD]

there just is no Fu*king reason...

[Belking]

3ds is just killing it. Vita really has its work cut out.

[thehusbo]

Great ps3 numbers. It's just miles ahead of the other home consoles in Europe these days. Good boost for the 3ds too.

[andibandit]

these days? dude it's been like this in europe for a long time, altho the box does go beserk during the xmas holidays season.

[Shnazzyone]

3ds is a clear indication we are all ready for the next gen already.

[ronin4life]

Wow. O.O;
The xl really boosted sales... I wonder what Mario will do?(or is it already out?)

[AWBrawler]

It just goes to show that there is still a huge market out there for handhelds, they just have to be the right price! The Vita is the right price hardware wise but unfortunately it isn't the right price for regular people that just want to play regular quality games. I personally like the Vita but am hesitant in getting one at the current price its at. At any rate the 3DS did a great job, and I'm happy that there still is a market out there for dedicated handhelds. I don't think that I'm ready for my phone to be my dedicated handheld just yet...
