wow the DS sold extremely this week

[Veskgar]

Unbelievable. As if the DS Lite wasn't selling enough. The numbers are climbing even still. For one week, that's a phenomenal amount of units sold.

Seriously, 80% of Japan must have a DS Lite by now.

[cswallstreet]

Each Household owns 3 DS Lites in Japan lol.

Over 127,463,611 people live in Japan.

The Nintendo Ds Lite recently broke the 10 million milestone. And consider this, a lot of people have bought multiple DS's. Everytime a new colour comes out, it sells out first day by crazy fans playing their older Ds Lites in line.

[Shrygue]

My God - 285,123 DS lites have been sold in just one week? That is incredible to to hear, last week (I think), about 120,000 - 130,000 were sold.

HAH

It's almost like complaining that the DS Lite is still outselling the Wii...

Either way, PS2 or PS3, Sony wins...

[Joe88]

I think the PS3 would have did way better if they waited 1 more year to release

yea the Wii would have come out, but games like MGS4 and such would have probably outsold in 1 month all the sales since the launch in 06 .....

No, it's like complaining that Gamecube is outselling the Wii. Which is not.

Anyways, with over 16 million units sold in Japan, and considering an average of 3 persons per family, we can say there is one DS Lite for each 2,51 family. In a street with 20 houses, they have 8 DS. It's a huge number!

And the DS is catching PS2 in total number of sales in Japan: 16.894.071 x 20.479.463. The difference is 3.585.392. This year alone, were sold 2.888.392 DS and 324.604 PS2. Seems that DS seels in a week what PS2 seels in two months. Of course, it may seem as an weird comparison, but they are the two consoles most sold already in producion.

Yes but the PS2 was launched in 2000, and DS in 2004

[I_Highway]

Yes, JKKDARK, this was my point: very soon, DS will catch PS2.

(In fact, I almost always agree with you, even in the "Dreamcast player")
