Nintendo has cracked a statement to say that sales of Nintendo 3DS first day of its release in the U.S. have exceeded historical records from other consoles of the firm across all categories. The Japanese refused to give exact figures, saying the analyst firm the NDP announced on 14 April. It is rare to see a company's communication delegate to NPD Group.
Nevertheless, the launch of the console seems to be a success, which is important for Nintendo, whose business model is challenged by smartphones (iPhone and Xperia Play). The handheld market seems dedicated for now to be doing well. Remains to be seen whether the problems encountered by some users are minimal or if Nintendo has a real bug on the arms (see "Nintendo 3DS plant").
