The 3DS has sold more units in December than any console has in a month in Japan since Enterbrain started tracking sales in 1997. It sold an absolutely enormous 1,492,931 units from November 28 to December 25. Also notable is that the 3DS has been in first place in the Japanese market since the price drop in August.
This is interesting news. Back in March most people were saying the 3DS couldn't make it or was doomed to mediocre sales. Now it's broken sales records. I think one of the reasons for this is Monster Hunter 3G. Monster Hunter put the PSP in the top spot in Japan last generation, and those were only spinoffs. Not only did the 3DS get a port of a numbered entry in the series, it's gonna get Monster Hunter 4. This will ensure sales in its homeland, for sure.
