The nintendo 3ds looking cool in red
Amazon.co.uk reveals that 3DS pre-order figures smash records.
Amazon has just released the impressive and intriguing pre-order figures for the 3DS. They claim that the 3DS has more than doubled the pre-order amount that the Wii received, and it has also beaten previous record holder, the PS3, by 71%
“It’s unusual for a handheld console to attract this amount of excitement in the run up to launch, such high levels of interest are normally reserved for the play-at-home hardware like the ground-breaking Nintendo Wii and last year’s Microsoft Kinect ,” said Chris Poad, Director of Video Games at Amazon.co.uk Ltd. “Nintendo 3DS is launching at a time when interest in all things 3D is incredibly high and with the promise of real 3D graphics without glasses, it’s a real breakthrough in handheld video game entertainment.”
The top five most pre-ordered consoles/gaming hardware of all-time on Amazon.co.uk are:
1. Nintendo 3DS – launching 25 March 2011
2. PlayStation 3 – launched March 2007
3. Nintendo Wii – launched December 2006
4. Microsoft Kinect – launched November 2010
5. PlayStation Move – launched September 2010
The 3DS is launched on Friday 25th March... only a couple of days left to get your pre-orders in, handheld fans, get very excited.
