DS Overruns Germany

[wraggster]

Seems lately the only time we post something about the Germans is when something bad goes down. So in the interests of parity, here's some more light-hearted news from the Fatherland: they like the DS. A lot.

The DS sold 500,000 units in 2005, which was alright, but in 2006 they sold a further 1,000,000, which is better. Combined with the GBA that has Nintendo owning 80% of the German handheld market (what, no Gizmondo love, Germany?).

Probably most interesting, though, is the claim by Nintendo (so take some salt with it) that 44% of German DS owners are female. That's staggering.

Wow. In my school i just see ppl with PSP. I am the only one with a DS. But well, maybe they dont take the ds to school

It depends on age i guess.
