Some positive news for Nintendo 3DS sales this week, as the release of Star Fox 64 3D saw sales figures more than double those achieved the previous week.
Whilst Star Fox 64 3D was only able to reach No. 6 in the software chart, fended off by a number of other new releases, the Nintendo 3DS was able to see sales of just under 47,000 units.
This easily surpassed sales of other platforms, near enough doubling the PSP, allowing Nintendo’s latest handheld to regain the hardware chart top spot.
