First 400,000 Nintendo 3DS sold out on Japanese release date

According to Nikei, the 400,000 3DS units that Nintendo shipped to Japanese retailers virtually sold out during its first 24 hours in the shelf. This is no surprise for us since the same thing happened to the Nintendo DS Lite and DSi a couple of years back.

There's probably another 3DS shipment by now so there's no need to panic. Maybe if you run to the store fast enough you'll be able to glimpse one ;)
