Sales of the
Nintendo 3DS reached the five million mark recently even as the sales of the
Xbox 360 of Microsoft allowed the software giant to maintain its top spot in
terms of sales.
Sales of
both the Nintendo 3DS and the Microsoft Xbox 360 have remained solid in the US
market as indicated in the figures revealed by the two companies.
Nintendo
currently holds the top spot in the mobile game console market with its 75
percent share of the market due to its string Nintendo 3DS sales. On the other
hand the Xbox of Microsoft has allowed it to maintain its lead in the console
market for the 18th straight month as it has a 47 percent share of the market.
Xbox sales
for June reached 257,000 units even as a number of game titles for the Xbox
have made to the top ten recently. The solid sales of the Nintendo 3DS, which
is the latest version being sold by the company, has allowed the company to top
the mobile game console market for the second consecutive month.
Total
Nintendo 3DS sales for June have reached 155,000 units, which allowed the
company to reach the five million unit mark. According to the sales and
marketing executive vice president of Nintendo America, Scott Moffitt, the
milestone reached by the Nintendo 3DS will allow the mobile game console to
offer new games and hardware into the market.
The games
offered for the Nintendo 3DS in the last holiday shopping season was considered
as the best that the company has released so far and it aims to surpass this
level this year. The 3D experience offered by the Nintendo 3DS to gamers is the
best one so far and will be enhanced further with the addition of the Nintendo
Wii U.
The Nintendo
3DS XL is currently being promoted by the company together with the ‘New Super
Mario Bros 2, which are set to be introduced by August 19.
