Phantom Hourglass sells 350K in two days

Sure, we thought hotcakes would be all but forgotten once the game released in Japan, but we never knew the game would sell this well. And in selling 350,000 copies in just two days, it has done very well in the region. In fact, this makes Phantom Hourglass the fastest-selling Zelda game since Ocarina of Time released (and would later be called "the greatest game of all time" by many).

Phantom Hourglass is currently slated for an October release in the United States.
