» Nintendo sells 1.2M DS units in 2 weeks

Full story here, and also increasing availability where possible.
After the initial rush, retailers said they were running low on stock to supply its customers with Nintendo's latest handheld. After the first week the primary batch of 500,000 units sold out so today Nintendo announced it will increase total shipments of Nintendo DS to North America by 40 percent, to 1.4 million systems before the end of the year.
Thanks Blue!

I don't get why people hate nintendo? Okay MS is okay, the are a big
coporation who suck people dry of all money on the earth, markets
there stuff in your face and monopolises everything.

Sony isn't too far behind

But Nintendo? Okay, they've been around a while. So maybe they are
uncool now, but they don't try to pull any cheap shots like Sony and
MS do. They don't bombard you with marketing crap 24/7 and they
don't try to check your credentials everytime you say the word
software.


Nintendo does rule, Sony and MS do suck. It's as simple as that.

I agree....I had one for a week.
I'm an avid gamer,and holding the thing was just a
pain,literally!!!

I think I've developed early arthritis : (
Thank Gawd the touchscreen had a few stuck pixels,I took it back to
where I bought it,'cause I knew they were sold out and you can't do
an "exchange if defective for same product only within 14
days" if they don't have any in stock.

; )
Think I'll wait for the PSP,looks a lot more flexible and
robust....and easier to hold.

Not knockin' the DS,it has its place,just not for me.

You say this round is Sony vs MS because you have not heard any info
on the next Gamecube. When people learn about Nintendo's next system
they'll be divided among all three.

HAHAHA. That's just wonderful. So, basicly, on those settings,
what you have is . . . a Gameboy DS. In any case, Sony should
stick to competing with MS, cus if they don't meet their release
dates on PS3, and it isn't nearly as powerful as xbox2, they are in
real trouble. If I were Nintendo, I would sit out one round of the
console wars, and just develop a next next generation console and
try to beat them to market. This next round is Sony vs. MS.

The DS is idiotic.

Look at the screen shots from games....how utterly useless is that
second screen? OOOooooo, the map is bigger!! Only makes the thing
twice as large as the failed early Advance. They've now made a
portable system about as handheld as a laptop.


Thankfully the Advance SP will still be around.
