Nintendo 3DS™, Nintendo’s new device which offers portable entertainment in 3D without the need for special glasses, launched in Australia on 31 March and has already sold through more than 31,000* units!

This has been achieved in only four days, and gives Nintendo 3DS the record for best handheld launch in Australia. Nintendo’s popular home console Wii™ holds the record for biggest week one sell through for any console, selling through slightly more than Nintendo 3DS with 32,000* units in its first week on sale, and has gone on to sell through more than 2.1 million* since its December 2006 launch.

Nintendo 3DS introduces players to a whole new world of gaming, with features including pre-installed 3D software such as AR Games™ (augmented reality), embedded motion sensor, the ability to watch 3D videos and take 3D photographs, and StreetPass™. Not only can Nintendo 3DS software be played on the device, but also most existing Nintendo DS® and Nintendo DSi™ software can too.**
