Nintendo 3DS Sells 400k on Day One

[Ryukouki]

Hahaha, something about its face makes me LOL really hard.

It was me when I touched a 3DS the first time.

I wish to put my hands on this baby.

I have, you'll love it.

Lucky you!!

So, instead of printing money this time around, I'm guessing the 3DS prints gold.

This is quite impressive though, I never thought it would sell out in one day! Maybe in two, but not one. Good thing I pre-ordered it, considering the same thing most likely will happen in the rest of the world, or at least something similar.

this really hates hard those that were saying 3Ds lost it momentum with the NGp was announce

 

[Raiser]

And to think people said it wouldn't do well

People actually said that? o.0

Anyhow, that's pretty nuts. I'll need to get me one as well!

sorry for posting this mods dont get mad

 

[bladepwnedyou]

Keep in mind the 3ds is more expensive than what the ds was.

 

[Slyakin]

Meaning even MORE money going to Nintendo's pocket.

Unless manufacturing costs a lot more.

I pre-ordered around mid-January. With it being sold out the day of launch over there, I'm glad I didn't reconsider cancelling my order. It would most likely have been months before I'd see another chance to get it again, so I'm glad with my current situation.

GOOOOOD DAMMMMMN!!!
Nintendo is probably taking a bath in all that money!

Yep here.

Which is a real shame.

But they are not selling at a lost...

Man... 100,000,000 dollars if this was in the US.

Man... 100,000,000 dollars if this was in the US.

And they needed 100,000,000 dollars to produce all these 3DS systems.

Nah, Nintendo's systems are usually profitable, unlike Sony's.

From what I have heard, it takes 160-200 dollars to make a 3DS.

Reasonable profit.

If the 3DS had some sort of backdrop when in the menu that could be animated, I'd use this pic.

 

[Etalon]

I can't believe that... 400'000 sold already...?

Maybe ~ a little less to produce, but then they got people buying games as well.

Doesn't surprise me at all. I knew it was gonna be sold out first day.
