In what is
yet another statistical landmark for the DS in its homeland, the data gatherers at Media Create have revealed that Japanese consumers have purchased their
100,000,000th Nintendo DS game.* Considering the handheld itself hit the twenty million mark only
last November, we calculate that to be ... a
pretty good attachment rate! In total, 922 titles have appeared in the region, 21 of which have been million-sellers. Hit the break for the top ten best-selling games to date.
* Rumors that the 100,000,000th game sold was
Bangai-O Spirits are yet to be verified, and are suspected to have originated at popular Nintendo DS blog "
DS Fanboy."

I don't get how they manage this kind of consumerism over there. I mean, everybody has to purchase every console and at least 30 games, read 12 manga series constantly, buy dvds, watch movies, stay in front of the pc while using dokomo all the time everywhere...if they're not standing in line in order to buy yet even more stuff. It doesn't sum up. I truly love this country.
