DS outsells Wii

[wraggster]

920,000 units sold in November in North America puts DS at the top of the sales chart for November, even beating sales of the newly launched Wii console, when people were camping outside shops to get their hands on the new console.

We wonder if everyone sat in Wii launch queues bought DSs just for something to do while they wait. 600,000 Wii's were snapped up by eager gamers last month, making for a hugely successful launch for Nintendo, but with the DS still owning the world as if no other games consoles exist, Nintendo already has plenty to celebrate.

Even the Game Boy Advance looks to be having a great Christmas, selling 642,000 units in November. There are surely more GBAs in the world than there are people by now, but somebody's still buying them, clearly.

According to Nintendo, it sold more than 2.1 million systems, including GameCube and Wii, of the 3.9 million consoles purchased in total in the month. Good times for Nintendo.

I'm so happy for Nintendo. The fact that they've managed to put up such a fierce fight against the world's most powerful corporate technology giants is a testimony indeed to their excellence.

Through developing and implementing new innovative ideas, some of which seem too radical to be viable, Nintendo is showing the whole videogame industry how it's done. You can't replace creativity with a blue ray drive.

I'd be so glad if Nintendo became the undisputed leader of videogames again this time round. It deserves it!:thumbup:
