Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime says sales of the company's 3DS handheld in the U.S. has been "very strong" despite a rise in the use of smartphones and tablets for mobile gaming.

 

In an interview, Fils-Aime says Nintendo has sold 8 million 3DS devices in the U.S. since launching in 2011, ahead of the original DS' pace of 7 million during the same period of time.

 

"That gives us a lot of confidence and a lot of belief that with great content and great experiences, the 3DS is going to be a very healthy platform," says Fils-Aime.

In all seriousness, great news for the 3DS. Along with the game announcements we got today, it's only going to get better. What a great handheld we got out of this!

Looking more and more likely that I will be adding myself to that statistic. Have to get one now with all these games being announced for it.

The more the 3DS sells, the more games we'll get. The 3DS is shaping up to be an amazing handheld.
