Japanese sales tracker Media Create has announced 100 million units of DS software have been sold in Japan since launch. 100 million in almost three and a half years! That’s quite a feat when you compare software sales to Japan’s PS2 power house which took four years and three months to hit the 100 million software mark. Twenty one of the 922 DS games released have sold more than 1 million units.

100mil in 3.5 years.. That is pretty amazing, but the other number you mentioned – 21 of 922 games hitting a million. That isn’t such an impressive number. Still, congrats to the DS! May you continue kicking Sony and MS butt for a long time to come lol
LOL!! that gif is awesome!
The DS is just great.
It is the most inovative, fun Nintendo system to date.
Maybe the Wii will catch up, but so far the DS owns it.
Those 21 are just in Japan. That’s not bad. There would be many more million sellers if you considered worldwide sales.
‘Only’ 35, I believe. Most of the million sellers in Japan are million sellers everywhere.
Will the juggernaut ever slow? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
jeeezuz, thats insano.
Jamie, if you think 21 million sellers in three and a half years is not so impressive…well you have just lost your mind.
