Nintendo has shared the sales numbers for New Nintendo 3DS, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D, and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate*, and they are all officially off to an incredible start.
New Nintendo 3DS sold 175,000 units in NA, and 160,000 in Europe in the first three days of availability- for those keeping track, that is 335,000 units sold in three days, which is incredible. For context, the Nintendo 3DS XL sold 50,000 units in NA, and 60,000 units in EU, for a total of 110,000 units in the first three days of availability.
Even better- the games did incredible too. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D has sold 350,000 units in the US, and 220,000 units in Europe, for 570,000 units sold in just these two territories, also in three days. For context, A Link Between Worlds sold 190,000 in NA and 150,000 in Europe for a total of 340,000 units, in the first three days after launch.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is also off to a rousing start- the game has sold 110,000 units in Europe in this time period, compared to Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate's 40,000 in the first three days of availability (Note: sales numbers for North America are unavailable, as Nintendo did not publish the game in that region, Capcom did; for US sales numbers, we will have to wait for NPD and Capcom sales figures; however, between the UK sales charts and Nintendo's own numbers, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate seems to be off to a great start in Europe at least).
So yes, it appears the New Nintendo 3DS, and all associated software, is officially off to a great start.
