how do they fare against nsmb DS and DSL?
NSMB DS had two more days and did 2x what NSMB2 did in its first two days.
DS Lite debut is DESTROYED.
So how long till 3DS catches on to Vita lifetime sales ?
But guess this is a solid debut.
Which was ?

DAT pixel separation.
seriously i heard that the 3D isnt as good on the LL because the pixel gap and the more obvious aliasing.

Without knowing what the digital sales are, it would be impossible to pass judgement on the NSMB launch
Considering what it is and people also getting a bit tired of the formula i think its great that it still can sell as much as the first NSMB, which had way more anticipation following the release being the first 3D Mario in many years. Especially since the 3DS already had a big Mario plattformer release just a couple months ago, which is still selling.
Many FUD going on about those 3DS XL systems - im suprised.
I've got a 3DS XL (its out in UK/EU) and what you're saying is absolute bullshit.
3D is superb and the screen is glorious and a significant improvement over the original.
All the impressions i have read so far mentioned that 3D is a lot better with the bigger screen
Guys, you have to remember NSMB2 had just two days. Both NSMB and NSMBWii had four days for their first week, and both obtained to do better in the three days after the launch day than on the day one. 2D Mario games have legs even from the first week. So, a 2-days launch penalises the game. You'll see it'll sell a lot in the following weeks.
Even more with Oni Training, which is a kind of game that sells low on the first day, but then many more units are sold during the other days.

Really where? Everywhere I've seen say better
Indeed it is. I own one, and you can take my opinion over that of someone who has never used an XL, preferring to spread hyperbole and sounding silly in the process.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.

I would guess it would be Black and White and Black and White 2 which in 2 days did 4 million? and 2 million respectively.
Err, Dragon Quest / Pokèmon / Final Fantasy games, maybe?
Wrong. Handheld gaming is dead. Dat iOS.
Probably - especially with the new commercials for MH Tri G, game will have sold 1.5 million this week.

Pretty much a given. 20k~ for all three wouldn't be a surprise.
I don't think they include DD sales, its not specified and the numbers would be higher.
Also 200k 3DS XL vs 400k Mario feels a bit off, DD sales shouldn't be underestimated.

It doesn't specify.
Compare with Pokemon B&W 2 for DS at 1,618,621 copies in 2 days.

What Trinity?
Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and MH3G?
Or
Taiko no Tatsujin, LBX Baku Boost, Dragon Quest Monsters: TW3D?
Or
Culdcept, Calciobit, Mario & Sonic?
Or all of them?

yeah, no eshop #'s makes this feel a bit off.
still weirder is the delay to us, at least we're sub 3 weeks to go but damn this feels like more NOA incompetence somehow.

If the current sales figure doesn't include digital downloads, then the actual sales figure may be much larger. On the flip side, if it does include digital downloads, then you have the total sales figure already, and Nintendo may divide the sales figure into its two categories sometime soon.

3DS XL sales are a bit higher than expected, NSMB2 a bit lower. But still... Wow! I wonder how old games increased thanks to this.
Do those retail digital download codes count as digital, or retail?
EDIT: This picture made me realize how much availability is offered by those codes at retail. Just the sheer amount of them in a small location is mind-blowing, and availability online is limitless. Old news, but it puts things into perspective seeing so many in a small place.
