New portable sells “just fewer” than 400k.
The 3DS was outsold in its debut month on US shelves by its predecessor, the DS, according to new sales data released by the NPD Group.
The DS was the biggest-selling system in the US during March, off the back of a strong launch for Pokémon Black/White which, combined, sold 2.5 million copies.
The RPG duo topped the software charts, with Pokémon White racking up the best debut month of any single SKU in the franchise to date. Pokémon Black is third in the all-time list.
