This DS thing is getting out of hand

According to a press release sent out yesterday, Nintendo of America broke their own sales record last week, selling more DS systems than in any previous week. In fact, the 653,000 consoles sold last week eclipse any week's sales of any Nintendo console. The previous record holder was the Game Boy Advance in the Thanksgiving week of 2005 (why did it do so well then? The Micro, maybe?) It looks like the DS (and the Wii, which sold more last week than any week since its launch) will be under a lot of trees this year -- Christmas trees, that is. We don't think people are going to bury them or anything. Of course, the two new hardware colors drew out some double-dippers, as well. We're also going to pretend that Contra 4 had a demonstrable impact on DS sales, with action gamers finally finding a reason to buy the system.

The press release goes on to declare the DS and Wii the saviors of the American economy, drawing people into stores during a holiday season beset by gas prices and general shopping malaise. Not in so many words, of course, but the message is clear: buy Nintendo, save Christmas. The full release is posted after the break.

DS and PSP will outdo home consoles

Market analysts at DFC International are predicting that handheld consoles will rule by 2011, with the DS and PSP having a larger combined userbase than the three current home consoles. They also see a chance that the DS will become the best-selling console in history.

The best-selling console in history. We're a whole website about how awesome the DS is, and that still sounds strange to us. Our quirky little handheld outselling things like the NES and the Playstation? We should be used to this kind of news by now, since the DS continues to sell like crazy. Maybe by 2011 everyone who wanted a DS will have been able to find one! That would be a welcome market trend.

Pokemond Diamond and Pearl break sales records?

Posted Sep 28th 2006 3:00PM by Jason Wishnov

We knew the launch was crazy, but this is ridiculous: some (unconfirmed) sources over at 4 color rebellion are stating that the entire launch allocation of two million copies of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl have completed sold out ... in less than a day. Furthermore, half a million DS Lites (including the new special edition, shown here) flew off the shelves as well. Next week's sales numbers should be ... interesting, to say the least.

We're not sure, but this might be an all-time sales record in Japan, and if one takes into account the proportional population of Japan versus the U.S., Pokemon Diamond and Pearl exceeds even Halo 2's ridiculous first day numbers (2.4 million sold in 24 hours). Take that, Master Chief.
