DS sales rockets past 3m in UK

[wraggster]

Nintendo has sold an astonishing three million DS and DS Lites combined in the UK in just two years.

"It's a great testament to the strength of the DS hardware and software range available, that just as Nintendo DS has passed its second birthday here in the UK, it reaches such a landmark sales figure", David Yarnton, General Manager, Nintendo UK commented.

This milestone is thanks to the huge success of Nintendo's Touch! Generations games, such as Nintendogs and Brain Training, as well as Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and New Super Mario Bros., which dominated the market last year.

"With many more Touch! Generations games launching in 2007, Nintendo DS and Wii will continue to be the main driving forces behind the expansion of the video game market this year," added Yarnton.

Not surprising at all. The DS appeals to everyone alike. Old and new.
