Nintendo UK has announced that pre-orders for the Nintendo 3DS have smashed UK records, and with three days to go until launch are more than double what the Wii achieved in 2006.
“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.”
“Until now 3D has been too expensive, too clumsy and too restricted,” Yarnton added. “With Nintendo 3DS it’s mobile. It’s affordable. It’s glasses-free. And it’s here, now.”
More than 1,200 retailers across the UK will open their doors at midnight on Thursday for the launch of the new handheld.
