Nikkei: 3DS sells 400k day 1
- Thread starter Chris1964
- Start date
400k would place it behind the GBA and DS in best handheld openings, if I looked at this right:
They could've reached much higher numbers if the supply was higher, obviously.
Supposedly there's another shipment today though.

Supply constraining yet again. *shakes head*
Seriously though, that is a whoppingly high number. Good for them.

I really dont think there's any caution playing a part in Nintendo's supply.
By comparison, the DS sold 230,000 units on its first day in Japan. It's also worth noting that Nintendo's initial shipment for the DS was 500,000 units.

I think that their problem is the production. Since they're launching next month even in US and Europe, lot of supplies will be directed there.
Anyway, is it right that tomorrow there will be another shipment in Japan?

I'm surprised people are surprised. 400k is not a large shipment at all. This was bound to happen.

a complete sell though on the first day? very nice, 3DS is off to a great start

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
It's no wonder they delayed it to February. Launching in Nov. of last year would have been disastrous.

I am. 3DS is more expensive compared to Nintendo's prior products which sold about the same amountcosmicblizzard said:
The N64 has the best Nintendo games ever. Gamecube had its revenge by combining and forming the Wii. The Virtual Boy is just awesome.-Pyromaniac- said:

I wouldn't call 30.9? Or was it 32.9? Something like that a TON considering the playstation sold 102 million. I'm just saying he was implying the sales of everything nintendo has done compares to that of the soon to be 3DS numbers, and wii numbers, and DS numbers, which are all far far far far far more than what the n64 sold. Pretty disappointing in comparison.XiaNaphryz said:

Right now, I'm really wondering how much profits is making Nintendo from every single 3DS unit they're selling. Any idea, guys?

Well I saw a video that said people got them running on it within hours. After Nintendo said there would be increased security I was pretty surprised to see videos up that quickly.

It's also the follow up to the best selling system in Japan ever. The price is higher, but not ridiculously higher than its predecessor like the PS3.

One of the R4 carts with the right firmware boots and can load DS roms. Nothing was hacked to get it working, as far as I'm aware, and its no indication that the 3DS has been hacked to run 3DS games.
The increased security likely exists only in how 3DS games run. This was just DS stuff.

It's all part of Nintendo's plan. That's why they aren't releasing the store till later. They see any hacks that are already out then patch them with an update that absolutely everyone will want.
Or I'm giving them too much credit and Nintendo simply isn't as good as lets say a Sony with security.

No. Nintendo made a shitload of money with the software, since the vast majority of the games that were sold on the console were Nintendo's games. Moreover, since so few games came out on the console, almost every few of them was a million seller.
Of course I don't think Nintendo made more money with the N64 than with the Wii or the DS. Of course not! But anyway, the profits Nintendo did with the N64 were of the order ot billions $.

Thanks for clearing it up for me. I know next to nothing about R4's so I was wondering how the heck it had happened.

They produced well over a million.faridmon said:
They are selling them in chunks to keep people buying new software alongside their consoles and to make sure there's not a month long chunk wherein no 3DSes are available.
N64 performance in North America was really good both from a software and hardware point of view.-Pyromaniac- said:I think people loved the n64 and made up their own history
To put in perspective N64 sold 20 million while SNES 22 million in NA.
In Japan however sales were abysmal and Europe was never a strong market for Nintendo console until Wii advent.
( Also I believe that the profit margin on cartridge were better than on disk for Nintendo ... )

Why the PS3 took forever to haxx and the PSP was hacked quickly but they kept on top of making it extremely difficult, like the launch of PSP3K and Go. Obviously eventually they learned you can't beat them but they do better than the rest.methos75 said:
