Information released as part of Nintendo’s recent investors conference suggest that the 3DS is enjoying a comfortable on-going sales advantage over PlayStation Vita.
Weekly sales of the 3DS in Europe are hovering around the 40,000-50,000 mark and are generally tracking ahead of both the console’s 2011 sales trends and those enjoyed by the DS over the last two years.
However, following its debut earlier this year Vita sales appeared to have settled around the 10,000-20,000 units per week mark across the continent.
“Nintendo 3DS had the biggest market share even before the launch of the Nintendo 3DS XL system, but it was far from satisfactory in terms of sales,” Nintendo boss Iwata told investors.
“However, after week 30, which corresponds to the launch of the Nintendo 3DS XL system, sales grew considerably, and the sales boost from this launch was greater than that of the markdown in the previous year’s summer. As a result, Nintendo 3DS led the European video game market in August.

The 3DS is failing to perform as expected in territories outside of Japan, Nintendo has conceded.
The handheld’s struggles played a big part in Nintendo’s decision to downsize its profit forecasts by 70 per cent.
Net sales for the six months ending September were down 6.8 per cent at ¥200,994m. That follows a 40 per cent decline in the same period in 2011. An operating loss of ¥27,996m was reported, though that is an improvement on the ¥70,272m loss reported the year before.
5.06m 3DS consoles were sold in the period
Sales of DS titles Pokemon Black/White 2 hit an impressive 4.26m units – a third of all DS software sales – although sales of the DS hardware itself failed to reach a million units for the first time.
Wii hardware sales for the period reached 1.32m.
Lifetime 3DS hardware sales stand at 22m units. Wii sales are slowly creeping toward 100m unit milestone, currently standing at 97.2m.
Hopes now turn to the Wii U, which launches in key territories next month.

The brilliant 3DS eShop platformer Mutant Mudds will get 20 new levels via a free DLC update this month.
 The fiendishly difficult additional levels were first released as bonus content with the PC version, which launched in August.Those levels will finally hit the 3DS original on October 18 in EU, and October 25 in US. They star Max's Grannie, and will seriously put your skills (and patience) to the test.

Cave Story creator Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya's underwater adventure Ikachan is coming to both 3DS and DSiWare, publisher Nicalis has announced.As was the case with Cave Story, Nicalis is going the extra mile with this one by creating two different versions for both the 3DS eShop and DSiWare to best fit each piece of hardware's resolution and screen size."The DSi has a resolution of 256×192 (top screen) while the 3DS has a resolution of 400×240 (let's say 320×240 for this discussion). If you divide 320 by 256, you get 1.25 - basically, the length is about 25 per cent more on the 3DS," the publisher explained on itsofficial blog. "What that means is that if we want DSi games to run full-screen on a 3DS, they need to be stretched by an additional 25 per cent over the maximum.""It seems like a damn shame to play a 2D pixel-art game with a blurry screen," Nicalis added. "Sure, you can hold the Start button or whatever the method is to boot in native resolution, but then you end up with a tiny screen on the 3DS and particularly on the 3DS XL.""This is literally the only reason I decided to port Cave Story to the 3DS... I think we're the only developers doing this and it's probably because it's a lot more work, but definitely worth it."Ikachan - which roughly translates to "Cute Squid" - was created by Pixel in 2000, four years before he released Cave Story. It follows a squid navigating social and political turmoil following an earthquake. He also fights stuff.Much like Cave Story, the original PC version of Ikachan is free and can be downloadedhere. See it in action in some gameplay footage below.I for one say it's about time squids get a little love in Japanese games, after their where the moustachioed plumber rips their tentacles off.

Suda 51 and Level 5's 3DS anime shooter Liberation Maiden will make its stateside debut on the North American 3DS eShop on Thursday, October 25, according to the eShop's news ticker. Previously, Liberation Maiden was featured in a Japan-exclusive 3DS multi-cart called Guild01. The other two titles in the set are set to release on the eShop later this year.
Liberation Maiden puts players in the shoes of Shoko Ōzora, a young high-school student who also happens to be the President of Japan, on account of the unfortunate assassination of her father. An invading force is attempting to steal all of Japan's energy resources, so obviously the best solution is to have Shoko pilot the "Kaihoki" mech herself into battle.
Animated cutscenes in the shooter come courtesy of Studio Bones, whose previous work includes the anime Wolf's Rain, Full Metal Alchemist and Soul Eater.
