The recent 3DS price drop has definitely spurred interest in the handheld over in Nintendo’s native region. Radio Nikkei is reporting that sales through the second week of August (8-14) hit 207K. That figure tops the number of units sold during the week following launch.

As the price drop went into effect August 11 in Japan, that accounts for three days of sales at the marked down price. It’ll be interesting to see if sales climb even further given a full week to settle.
