DS hits 50 million mark

Posted Sep 26th 2007 11:30AM by David Hinkle

The DS has hit the 50 million worldwide mark recently, reaching the halfway mark for the Game Boy's total sales. Sure, the DS is the fastest-selling gaming console of all time, but it still has a ways to go before it reaches the status the Game Boy enjoys. It has taken 16 years for the Game Boy to reach 119 million units sold, and the DS has reached 50 million in only 3 years since its launch.

So, are we taking bets on when the DS will surpass the Game Boy?
