The first reports indicate that Nintendo shifted an estimated 193,000 units of its handheld console, Nintendo 3DS XL, in Japan.

During November 2009, the company sold around 100,000 DSi XL during the first two days on sale. Before that, the shifted approximately 170,000 throughout its opening weekend.

In similar news, Nintendo also announced that it has sold 19 million 3DS systems worldwide (as reported by Japanese gaming mag, Famitsu).

Meanwhile, they've also launched a fresh 3DS game, New Super Mario Bros. 2, which sold 430,000 units in its first two days (What's up with 'the first two days'? Why not the first 3-4 days? Just saying, it doesn't always have to be weekend sales or 2-day sales...).
