Amazon reported that the amount of preorder for Nintendo 3DS is 20 percent more than that of previous record holder which is the PS3 of Sony. This just shows how much expectations this new console from Nintendo affects the gaming world. Compared to previous consoles released, 3DS is 56 percent greater than Wii, and a surprising 255 percent difference from DSi.
Here are statements from Chris Poad, Amazon.co.uk’s Games Director.
“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.”
“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”.
Although unexpected, I can certainly say that Nintendo 3DS deserves all the hype and attention that it is currently getting from the gaming world. It is definitely one of most innovative advances in the gaming scene that we have seen from the recent years.
Everyone is definitely excited to get hold one these, beacon of technology. So better dive in and order yourself one now. And be one of the first in testing if it lived up to it all.
Here is a newly released trailer for Nintendo 3DS containing some new cool footages of some game titles. Enjoy!
