Over 4 million Nintendo 3DS consoles sold on the back of great software

Whether they were on the go or at home, whether they played in 2D on the TV or in glasses-free 3D in their hands, gamers of all ages celebrated the holidays with Mario and Zelda.


Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 are now the first Nintendo 3DS titles to sell 1 million in the US. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword became the 45th Wii title to sell more than 1 million.

Nintendo sold over 12 million consoles in the US during 2011. Including over 4.5 million Wii consoles, over 4 million Nintendo 3DS handhelds, and over 3.4 million Nintendo DSs. Bringing total sales for Wii and Nintendo DS to 39 million and more than 51 million.

A strong lineup of software to come including Mario Party, Pokémon and Kid Icarus plus games like Resident Evil Revelations and METAL GEAR SOLID 3D Snake Eater the momentum should continue.
