Better hope one of them is yours or you might be out of luck

Nintendo Australia today revealed first week sales figures for Pokemon Black and White, but what about the next big thing from Nintendo that’s out this week? Well the Nintendo 3DS isn’t out yet, but according to Nintendo who have told Kotaku AU that the system has more pre-sales (pre-orders) than any other Nintendo device in Australia, even more than the Wii.

Nintendo is still expecting a sell out of the console despite saying they’ll have more stock than the Wii had back in 2006. If you miss out on day one or two though, Nintendo says stocks will be dribbling in over the coming weeks.

We’ll have to wait a week or two to see how well they did, records to be broken? Let’s wait and see.
