I do suppose that the launch of Pokémon X and Pokémon Y on October 12th globally had something to do with a marked increase in the Nintendo 3DS sales, as a strong title is always a catalyst to shift more hardware units. This just goes to prove that having the best hardware in the world alone is nothing if you do not have the kind of software or games in this aspect, to go along with it. For those of you who have already picked up the Nintendo 3DS recently, do bear in mind that you should have a couple more blockbusters that are set to arrive on the same day that the Microsoft Xbox One is released – The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and Mario Party: Island Tour should make an appearance this coming November 22nd.
