DS sells 4 million in UK

According to Chart Track, an independent sales tracking company, the DS has sold 4 million in the United Kingdom. That isn't the only interesting piece of the news coming out of this, however, as Nintendo reveals that over half of these 4 million consumers (about 66%) were female. One in four DS owners are also into the brain exercises, apparently, as it is revealed that Dr Kawashima's Brain Training: How Old Is Your Brain? sold over 1 million copies in the region.
