DS breaks record in UK

We haven't seen the UK been so receptive to something since the black plague. OK, maybe that was out of line, but you folks across the pond are seriously down with the DS. And, that is something we can get down with.

Over the last week, the DS sold over 191,000 units. This breaks the record for any hardware format selling in a 7-day period in the UK, which is the largest gaming market in Europe. The previous record was set by Sony's PSP device, which sold 185,000 units in its first week, after the handheld went on sale on September 1st, 2005.

Lollerz I cannot think why the DS would have sold so much last week when the most interesting releases were on the 360 and Wii, frankly. Maybe it's all the new adverts with Patrick Stewart and Zoe Ball^^
