Over the last fiscal year, demand for 3DS declined immediately by 73%. From April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2023 Nintendo sold a total of 690 thousand portable consoles of the family. Game sales also fell – by 62.3%, from 13.22 million to 4.99 million.
Interest in the system is expected to continue to fall in the coming fiscal year.
