Nintendo confirmed this morning that first-day 3DS sales in the U.S. were the highest of any Nintendo hand-held system in its history. The company, however, would not provide an exact number today. It will reveal first-week U.S. sales early next month.

"More details about U.S. sales numbers will be made public on April 14, when first-week U.S. sales figures will be tallied by the independent NPD Group," a representative said. "Nintendo worked hard to get as much product as possible to retailers on day one to meet demand, and we will continue with these efforts moving forward."

    Not surprising.The DS is a casual phenomenon.Too bad they don't have nothing for the ? .Was in Best Buy today looking at the games for the 3DS and nothing stood out for someone of my caliber.

    Super Street Fighter 4 on Nintendo's 3DS has had a strong opening so far, at least in the United Kingdom, taking 4th place in overall game sales and the top spot overall for 3DS games.

    GFK Chart Track released the numbers, tracking sales through March 26, 2011, which means the 3DS release performed this well after only being on the market for two days. Here's the top listing.

    1. Crysis 2
    2. Lego Star Wars Iii: The Clone Wars
    3. Homefront
    4. Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition
    5. Pokemon White Version
    6. Pilotwings Resort
    7. Pokemon Black Version
    8. The Sims: Medieval
    9. Rayman 3D
    10. FIFA 11

    3DS needs more original games.I would play SF on console rather than a hand held.Sadly it's just a DS with a 3D gimmick and nothing more.NGP will actually improve the hand held market as far as technology and game design.I just wish Nintendo would spend some money on cutting edge tech and stop being so cheap.
