November NPD sales look good for DS

Money PileAnother day, another post describing how the DS is outselling everything ever. It seems that Nintendo's prolific portable is still steamrolling its way into homes all across the US, spreading the infectious joy that is touching. The latest NPD sales figures are in and show the handheld trumping not only the PSP but a certain sleek next-gen console. Of course, an unfair advantage lies in the fact that the DS can actually be found on store shelves this holiday season (and at a much lower price to boot).

November hardware sales (number of units):

GBA = 819,733
PS2 = 535,000
NDS = 369,012
PSP = 353,434
Xbox 360 = 325,902
NGC = 272,000 (unconfirmed)
Xbox = 197,000 (unconfirmed)

Are you one of those 369,012 people?

1. I predict December 2005 DS Sales: "The Nintendo DS outsells all food products put together!"

I personally believe the PS2 is outselling because of We Love Katamari and Ratchet: Deadlocked, and those games only. If we could get those on the DS...

Rachet:
There're far better platformer on the 64. e.g. Conker

3. Why yes, I am, thank you for asking. I bought it for Sonic Rush and boy was it fun. There are so many good games for DS that it's become impossible to choose which to get next.

4. Yep...I'm one of those people. Been eyeing an NDS for awhile, and the Target ad sealed the deal for me :)

Lovin' Mario Kart and Advance Wars...

5. Yep, I'm one of them, though not my own, one for my mother in law. Actually, all told I only spent $50 to get her an electric blue DS, Mario Kart DS and Bust a Move DS. Not bad.

7. I'm one of them as well. Can't deny the power of Mario Kart.

8. I am one of them. I got a few Best Buy gift certificates for my birthday, and Mario Kart was coming out this month, so I figured why not? My wife really enjoys hers.

I'm loving MarioKart DS (already got through the entire Grand Prix), Advance Wars DS, but I think the most addicting is multiplayer Meteos with my wife. That game is so addicting.

9. Yup.

12. #2: I heard that was cancelled...oh, it's still just rumored. Well, if it does come out, it could use two styluses (which would be so cool) and it would totally own the PSP version.

#6: Don't worry, man. AW:DS is kicking my butt too. :P

13. I goy my Mario Kart DS recently, so yes I'm one of those. I got it because #1 it's awesome and #2 It was employee appreciation week so I got a good discount on the games I bought for it.
