More DS Success

, , , , ,

The DS has been a phenomenal success, and I like to sing its praises. For me it's becoming the best Nintendo console ever. It's got everything; great games, gorgeous looks, Wi-Fi fun, great interface...
Today Nintendo have release some facts and figures about the DS and its Wi-Fi service.

  • Since its launch in November 2005, Nintendo's wireless gaming service has now connected more than 5 million unique Nintendo DS owners.
  • Those gamers have racked up more than 200 million game-play sessions.
  • Worldwide, nearly 65 games can be played via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
  • The five most popular globally are Animal Crossing: Wild World, Mario Kart DS, Metroid Prime Hunters, Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl.
  • The DS was again the top-selling video game system in April, with more than 470,000 units sold in the United States alone.
  • That equates to nearly 16,000 per day.
  • In less than 18 months, DS purchases have increased by 42 percent among women, 127 percent among people 30 and older and 212 percent among people 35 and older.

It just keeps on going...
