Before March 31st there will be 4,000,000 Nintendo 3DS units made available to the world. 1,500,000 of these will be for Japan, and as MCV reports, a further 900,000 will for North America. And while these numbers sound high, the Microsoft Kinect sold 1,000,000 units within ten days of its launch in the United States alone. And that’s a peripheral, meaning the target market is already quite small. There are going to be shortages, so I figure, if you have any interest in picking up a 3DS before the end of March, why not just preorder it? It’s not like be allocated for the European market. This leaves about 1,600,000 units available heading to Amazon.com or stopping by your local GameStop is too laboriousSaturday, January 22, 2011
