Amazon UK has announced that the Nintendo 3DS is their most pre-ordered console of all time.
The online retailer said the 3DS beat sales records set by the PlayStation 3 in March 2007 by 20 percent and the Nintendo Wii by 56 percent.
"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 Amazon UK’s director of video games, Chris Poad.
"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 Nintendo 3DS launches in the UK and Europe on March 25.
