"The Nintendo 3DS has sold more than 5 million units in the US. NPD Group&amp;#039;s June figures confirm that the handheld console reached the milestone after just over a year on the market, MCV reports.   Nintendo is planning to release a larger iteration of the device, the 3DS XL, in August alongside blockbuster title New Super Mario Bros 2. New entries in the popular Paper Mario and Luigi&amp;#039;s Mansion series are also on the way.  &amp;quot;Nintendo 3DS is entering the next phase of its life cycle with new hardware, new games and proven franchises. This milestone shows we&amp;#039;ve got a great foundation to build from,&amp;quot; said Nintendo sales executive Scott Moffitt.  &amp;quot;The game lineup for Nintendo 3DS last holiday season was one of the strongest in our history. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re poised to top it this year. Every week, gamers will have the best franchises in the world in a glasses-free 3D experience that can&amp;#039;t be found anywhere else. Add Wii U into the mix and it&amp;#039;s a great time to be a Nintendo fan.&amp;quot; The gaming giant also announced that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D has sold more than 1 million units domestically, a feat previously achieved by Super Mario 3D and Mario Kart 7.
