In a recent interview with TIME, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime talked about sales of various products. Of note, Fils-Aime stated that the Nintendo 3DS has passed a milestone of sorts:
In sales through this past Saturday—8 months—it has outsold the full 12 months of the original DS. During that 12 months time, the original DS sold 2.37 million and we just surpassed that this past Saturday, so we’ve got real good momentum going into the holidays.
He also talks about the positive impact The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has had on Wii sales. The full interview is available to read at TIME’s website.
