Nintendo 3DS Top-Selling Title: Professor Layton
Posted in: 3ds, nintendo, Today's Chili, video games
Nintendo’s official figures put the Nintendo 3DS at 400,000 units sold during its Japanese launch–other folks are estimating sales a bit lower (around 371,000, according to one source). Whatever the case my be, one title seems to be standing head and shoulders over the rest.
Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle, the latest in a line of puzzle games that have proven massively popular in their native Japan, is topping the list at 117,589 units sold. That’s roughly one-third or one-fourth of the number of 3DS devices sold, depending on who you ask.
By most accounts, however, the launch selection for the portable platform was fairly lackluster, with Nintendogs + Cats serving as the other front runner. The U.S. launch selection looks a bit more promising, thankfully, with 18 titles. For those eager to see what all the fuss is about, Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle will be coming to North American 3DSes, though not at launch.
