The DS Juggernaut continues to dominate, when will the madness end?
Since its November 21st, 2004 launch, the Nintendo DS – and its sexier, lighter, brighter redesign – has outperformed just about everyone’s expectations and predictions. Nintendo’s latest portable gaming system has sold million of units worldwide and continues to perform extraordinarily well, with killer apps such as Brain Age and Pokémon Diamond / Pearl selling millions of copies as well (much to the delight of publishers). Many of us were skeptical of the system’s innovative features; two screens, a touch screen, and a built-in microphone seemed weird to some, but Nintendo and many other developers have shown what the system is capable of, and millions of players around the world couldn’t be happier with the results. Let’s take a look at some interesting sales numbers and facts that the Nintendo DS and its game have produced:
Brain Age, Nintendogs, and New Super Mario Bros. continue to sell well and remain atop sales charts worldwide. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are also doing extremely well, and upcoming titles such as Phantom Hourglass and Dragon Quest IX are sure to feature similar results. So you see, the Nintendo DS really does print money!
