Following last Thursday's announcement that the 3DS's price will be reduced by a third, sales of the handheld have also dropped. Last week, Nintendo sold only 16,415 3DS systems in Japan, or about half of what it so꧑ld in the same market the week before (31,826).

In the same press release that announced the price cut, Nintendo offered 20 free 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:downloadable games, all of which are re-releases from previous Nintendo systems, to anyone who owns or buys a 3⛎DS and logs into the eShop before 11:59 p.m. on Aug. 11, the last day before the pℱrice drop goes into effect.

Sales appear likely to dip even lower this week, since the annou𒁃ncement came late last week, meaning some of the week%26rsquo;s purchases were made before anyone knew Nintendo would readjust its sales strategy.

The numbers from last week's Japanese console sales are as follows. Sales💫 from the previous week are in parenthesis:

1. PSP: 36,659 (26,854)
2. PS3: 20,704 (23,343)
3. Wii: 18,232 (17,114)
4. 3DS: 16,415 (31,826)
5. DSi LL: 5,267 (5,258)
6. DSi: 4,625 (4,921)
7. X360: 1,616 (1,546)
8. PS2: 1,594 (1,475)
9. DS Lite: 138 (155)
10. PSP go: 7 (14)

Sales oꦓf the PSP go also fell by about half, from 14 units tꦏo seven, but nobody noticed.
