There were complaints about the launch lineup, claims that the 3D was just a gimmick, and a higher-than-usual price tag attached to it, but the 3DS managed to outperform all previous Nintendo handhelds during its first day of availability.
"U.S. day-one sales numbers for Nintendo 3DS were the highest of any Nintendo hand-held system in our history,"a Nintendo of America statement reads. Nintendo isn't providing specific sales numbers and will instead wait until April 14, when the March NPD figures are released, for those to go public.
"Nintendo worked hard to get as much product as possible to retailers on day one to meet demand, and we will continue with these efforts moving forward,"it added.
The $250 price tag made it $100 more expensive than the DS when it was released in 2004. Apparently that wasn't enough to slow consumers down who rushed out to pick up the first portable gaming system with glasses-free 3D.
