HMV-Store

Various retailers in the Uniteed Kingdom have commented on the sales of the Nintendo 3DS, which released on March 25 in the region.

"The 3DS has been huge for us. In fact, it was our biggest ever format launch, driven by really strong online sales and our a fantastically-priced opening bundle." - ASDA

"It's certainly among our fastest ever selling consoles, but still a little too early to give a final figure/view." - HMV

"The category manager tells me that the Sony PS3 [launch] was the biggest for us, and maybe even further back Sony PS2. The 3DS is the biggest Nintendo one for us, though." - Currys

"The 3DS hasn't actually been our fastest ever selling console, yet, anyway." - Sainsbury's

"As a company we do not release info on sales or statistics so cannot disclose this answer. However, I can tell you that we have not sold out." - Toys R Us

"As in previous years, we're not able to talk about the results of a console launch until our next trading update. For this period, that will be 27th April." - GAME

"The simple answer is that yes, the 3DS will have been the quickest selling by a country mile. That's mainly because we had a pre-order system for the first time which allowed us to get much more stock than we would have got under previous circumstances, and also incentivised customers to come in and buy it on the day of or day after release. Sorry, not prepared to share numbers but we had an extremely good share of the supermarket sector, Nintendo have said we were number two." - Morrisons
