If nothing drastic happens, the New Nintendo 3DS will climb over 500,000 units sold in Japan this week, and that's after less than a month on the market. It was launched on October 11 and has up until last week sold 460,835 units, each week shifting more than 50K units.
There is still no official word on when New Nintendo 3DS will be released in Europe, but we might get to know later tonight when Nintendo has a Nintendo Direct 22:00. They have promised to show a lot of new stuff for both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Stay tuned on Gamereactor for any major headlines.
