Nintendo DS hits 100 million sold milestone

11 March 2009 16:54 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 5 comments

According to Nintendo, the popular DS handheld has reached a new milestone, 100 million global unit sales as of March 6th.

Sales include the original "fat" DS, the streamlined DS Lite and the new DSi which includes a camera, a larger screen, a memory card slot for playback of downloadable content, and an improved battery.

The handheld launched in late 2005 in Japan and North America and early 2005 for the European market and the DS Lite was launched in the Q2 2006 in each market.

Nintendo expects the DSi, which has launched so far only in Japan, to have shortages for this upcoming holiday season and is already warning consumers to buy early when the device hits Europe and North America in April.
