Nintendo 3DS sold out in less than 24 hours

- impressive, but this is in Japan. I don't think it will sell so much in the rest of the world. Mobiles like the iPhone has taken quite much of the handheld gaming market. Quite understandable because the game prices is much cheaper. My kid rather buys 10 games for his iPhone instead of only one for the same kind of money for his Nintendo DS...

Nintendo shipped a total of 400,000 units of their 3DS console to the retailers in Japan and the device went on sale last Saturday (February 26). In less than 24 hours, every single unit was snapped up from the shelves of those retailers. http://bit.ly/fgJYXv
