3DS Topped Japan Records in December

The 3DS continues to perform well after a slow start in Japan, breaking Enterbrain's hardware sales record during the festive season.

Stats tracker and Japanese magazine publisher Enterbrain started number crunching in 1997 and since then console manufacturers have attempted to earn the coveted top spot. The 3DS has had that right for the previous seven months, and December earned Nintendo bragging rights as the highest single month's sales total of 1,492,931 since publication began.

Rival hardware the PlayStation Vita had a solid launch month, selling 402,794 units in 15 days.
