<description><![CDATA[The Nintendo 3DS has the bestselling handheld launch.(Credit:Nintendo)The Nintendo 3DS had the best U.S. launch of any handheld the game company has ever released, according to a statement today.&quot;U.S. day-one sales numbers for the Nintendo 3DS were the highest of any Nintendo handheld system in our history,&quot; a company representative told CNET today. Though Nintendo didn't release actual sales figures, the company said that first-week sales will be available from research firm NPD when it announces its March industry revenue findings next month.Nintendo launched the 3DS in the U.S. on Sunday for $249. The device, which allows users to play 3D games without the need for special glasses, was readily available online and in some stores around the U.S. following the launch, prompting some to wonder whether Nintendo enjoyed the same kind of success in North America as it did in Japan. The handheld reportedly sold out in Japan during its first weekend of availability.The achievement shouldn't be taken lightly. The device's launch has outpaced some of the bestselling game handhelds ever released, including the Nintendo Game Boy, the Nintendo DS, and many others. Nintendo revealed earlier this year that it sold more than 47 million DS units in the U.S. alone since that platform's launch in 2004. The 3DS seems well on its way to matching its predecessor.But amid all the good news coming from the 3DS, the platform has caught some flak from upset customers who say their devices were crashing while they were playing games. In those cases, players were reportedly forced to shut the device off and start over.Though Nintendo didn't specifically cite those issues, the company told CNET today that it hasn't received too many complaints about its 3DS, and the rate of hardware failure was actually quite low.&quot;The number of calls and e-mails received by our customer support center is well below the rate experienced during past hardware launches, and there are no widespread issues,&quot; the Nintendo representative told CNET. &quot;As always, people who have questions or comments about Nintendo 3DS or any Nintendo products can visit our support Web site or call 800-255-3700.&quot;Further reading:CNET's Nintendo 3DS review<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:Amazon)AT&amp;T will sell the 6-inch, 3G version of the Amazon Kindle in company-owned stores starting Sunday, it announced today. The carrier will be selling the e-reader for $189, the same price it's available for on Amazon.com and in other retail outlets. Customers who opt to buy the Kindle at AT&amp;T stores won't find any special arrangements with the carrier, so consider this just another place where Kindle seekers can pick up the e-reader. AT&amp;T's decision to start selling the Kindle on its store shelves makes for a rather interesting dynamic in its stores. Soon, the Kindle will be sitting next to the iBooks-equipped iPad in AT&amp;T stores, enabling those looking for an e-reader to try out both devices before they make their choice.Amazon's Kindle 3G connects to the Web via Wi-Fi or over AT&amp;T's 3G network for free. It allows users to download books, periodicals, and other content wirelessly, and is capable of storing up to 3,500 books. According to AT&amp;T, the Amazon Kindle Store now has over 810,000 books for customers to choose from.Amazon revealed in December that its third-generation Kindle is the bestselling product of all time on its Web site, surpassing &quot;Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7).&quot; On Christmas Day, &quot;more people turned on new Kindles for the first time, downloaded more Kindle Buy Once, Read Everywhere apps, and purchased more Kindle books than on any other day in history,&quot; Amazon said at the time. The company did not release sales figures however. The Kindle was also the top-selling device on Amazon between November 14 and December 19, besting the 8GBiPod Touch, according to the company.AT&amp;T joins Target and Best Buy in the growing number of retailers that sell the Kindle on store shelves.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
