[3DS] Enterbrain: 3DS shatters monthly sales record in Japan

3DS had a rough start, I don't think anyone would deny that. But just this month it has really solidified that those days are in the past now, as it completely blew away all the competition in Japan over the December period.

The Japanese tracking firm, Enterbrain, says that the handheld sold a staggering 1,492,931 between November 28th and December 25th. Those are the highest figures ever recorded since they started in 1997. December was also the seventh month straight that the 3DS had topped Japanese sales.

To add some perspective to this news, second place was held by Sony's newly released PlayStation Vita. The Vita managed to sell 402,794 since the December 17th launch, claiming a distant second.

Whilst it is a bit early to say the 3DS is definitely out of the woods everywhere, I think it is definitely the case in Japan.
