The DS has been revealed as the portable console king today, with Nintendo revealing that the touch-screen console has sold over 500,000 units across Europe.
Word has it that the games haven't done too badly either, with just over half of those owners picking up a copy of Mario 64 DS. Since its release on the 11th of march, the DS has seen widespread exposure across the country, and looks set to be a huge success with upcoming titles Yoshi's Touch and Go and Metroid Prime: Hunters.
The DS's European debut follows similarly successful launches in the US and Japan and with Sony's PSP yet to have a firm Euro launch date, the DS looks set to continue to thrive in the Euro zone.
