It seems that Nintendo's drastic price cut for the has paid off in spades in at least.

Slashing the price of the 3DS has been managed to become a fixture at the top of the charts since the price cut came into effect at the end of the summer.

Nintendo's handheld has managed to see off the with more than double the last week and five times the sales this week.

This will come as a relief to who has seen their share price plummet due to the poor launch performance of the 3DS combined with dwindling sales of the Wii.

Thanks Gamasutra.
