We’re poised to top it this year. Every week, gamers will have the best franchises in the world in a glasses-free 3D experience that can’t be found anywhere else. Add Wii U into the mix and it’s a great time to be a Nintendo fan.

Nintendo stated that the Nintendo 3DS has “sold 5 million units in the United States, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States”.

Nintendo’s record:

* The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D became the third Nintendo 3DS title to sell more than 1 million units, joining Super Mario 3D Land (2.1 million units sold life to date) and Mario Kart 7 (1.75 million units sold life to date).
* For the month, two of the top five and nine of the top 25 best-selling software SKUs play on Nintendo platforms.
* For the second month in a row, Nintendo held a 75 percent market share for portable hardware in the United States.
* Nintendo sold more than 400,000 total hardware units in June and saw double-digit growth across each of its product lines compared to May. This includes more than 155,000 Nintendo 3DS systems, more than 150,000 units of the Nintendo DS family of systems and nearly 95,000 Wii consoles.

It's s shame that the Vita is not doing well because it's a good piece of hardware. I'd love to see Microsoft put out a hand-held that could play Xbox 360 games so that I wouldn't have to buy the same games twice and I'd be able to play my games more often. Sega did this back in the 90's with the Nomad (it could play your Genesis games), and while it didn't sell too well, I always thought it was a great idea.
