✨ AI Insight

Mario Kart 7 leads the Nintendo 3DS at 18.99 million copies, just ahead of a cluster of Pokemon titles. The most striking pattern is Pokemon's dominance: four Pokemon pairs appear in the top ten, including X and Y at 16.8 million and Sun and Moon at 16.34 million, confirming the franchise's central role on Nintendo handhelds. Mario is the other pillar, represented by Mario Kart 7, New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario 3D Land. The presence of Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Yo-kai Watch 2 shows the platform's breadth beyond its two flagship series. The figures decline steadily from about 19 million to 7.3 million, a smooth curve without a single runaway outlier.
