The following information comes from MCV...

- Metallic Red 3DS is sold out at retail
- Aqua Blue edition is now only available on an allocation basis
- 3DS sold just shy of 70,000 units in the UK last week

"It's great to see Nintendo's peak marketing campaign in full swing, this combined with the launches of Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 have taken 3DS to a whole new level, making it this Christmas' "must have" present. We have seen strong sales so far and have high expectations for the final few weeks before Christmas. Well done Nintendo, Mario strikes again." - GAME Group's category manager for Nintendo Iain Johnson
