  It should be interesting to see how Majora’s Mask 3D sells over the next year. By the end of 2014, Ocarina of Time 3D was well over 575,000 units sold (probably close to 600,000), so there’s certainly potential for Majora to sell much more in the months ahead.   The top-20 software sales chart for last week is as follows:
