Although the company has decided not to reveal exact sales figures just yet (instead waiting for the NPD to tally first-week sales), Nintendo of America today said in a statement that 3DS already had the highest day-one results for any of their handheld systems in history.
The company's statement:
"U.S. day-one sales numbers for Nintendo 3DS were the highest of any Nintendo hand-held system in our history. More details about U.S. sales numbers will be made public on April 14, when first-week U.S. sales figures will be tallied by the independent NPD Group. Nintendo worked hard to get as much product as possible to retailers on day one to meet demand, and we will continue with these efforts moving forward."
