UK 3DS sales figures are in
The Nintendo 3DS sold 113,000 units during its first two days on sale in the UK, Nintendo has announced. That means is beats the UK launches of the Wii which sold 105k and 87k the Nintendo DS sold, making the Nintendo 3DS the fastest-selling Nintendo console ever in the UK. I picked mine up today and I must say it is an amazing piece of kit. Once the AAA games come out it will undoubtedly be a brilliant gaming device.
