Nintendo's 3DS has outperformed the company's previous platforms in Australia.
The handheld has sold more than 200,000 units in its first 37 weeks, setting a new sales record for the region.
It has not only surpassed the early sales of other handhelds, but even home consoles, according to CVG (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/329787/nintendo-3ds-breaks-sales-record-in-australia/).
As with other markets, 3DS got off to a slow start Down Under but the global price cut and release of titles such as Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 has reversed the device's fortunes.
