Nintendo UK has announced that just three days ahead of the Nintendo 3DS that pre-orders for the handheld have more than double those acheieved for the Wii in 2006.
This news comes after online retailer Amazon.co.uk declared the 3DS a record breaking system for the number of pre-orders prior to launch.
"The reaction to Nintendo 3DS has exceeded our wildest expectations," said David Yarnton, General Manager of Nintendo UK. "Glasses-free 3D entertainment has truly arrived. It’s almost certain that the number of Nintendo 3DS consoles sold on Friday will exceed the number of 3D televisions sold in the whole of 2010."
That’s quite a claim, but David went to explain why he feels the 3DS is the way forward.
"Until now 3D has been too expensive, too clumsy and too restricted," said David Yarnton. "With Nintendo 3DS it’s mobile. It’s affordable. It’s glasses-free. And it’s here, now."
The Nintendo 3DS goes on sale in the UK this Friday.
