Nintendo: a bit 'of numbers on 3DS

Nintendo has announced that 3DS has sold 113,000 units in the first two days in England, beating the previous record of Wii (105,000) and DS (about 87,000). This makes the console 3DS sales faster than ever in England, although for now the record in the "launch period" still belongs to the PSP, which share in 2005 reached 185,000 units sold.

Compared to 140,000 before the console launch book lacks, however, 27,000 "withdrawals" from the players and this means that the only record left in the hands of Sony is probably destined to collapse. The marketing manager of Nintendo UK, James Honeywell, provides that sales by the end of this week exceeded 150,000 units in fluency and reaching 200,000 in the next few days.

Across Europe, the new portable console has sold 303,000 pieces in the first two days and this is also a record. Same goes for the U.S., although in this case, the overseas Nintendo has not published the exact figures.
