Japan: Nintendo to sell 10 million DS’s by August

According to Media Create, the Nintendo DS (original and Lites combined) will sell through a total of 10 million units by August. Club Skill writes: “Nintendo must be jumping around their Kyoto HQ while drinking sake, because it doesn’t happen that often to sell ten million units that fast. Actually, it has never happened before.” […]

  1. Click on the link [in my initials] to see what Miyamoto and Iwata think of the DS!!:o)

  2. Haahaha nice picture! Infendo should really post that up. One problem though… shouldnt it be yen?

  3. It's a fairly old image but somebody could easily shop it to yen I guess. There is also a .gif version of it where their mouths move and money flows out of the lite.

  4. Just thought I'd note that this number has to be sales in Japan only. Worldwide, at E3 they said they had sold about 16 million machines.

  5. Anyone remember two years ago when all those analyst said that the PSP would sell way more by 2009 then the DS?Well so far, unless the PSP becomes the new iPod, it's not looking like that will happen….Lesson: Don't listen to people who predict the future. Specially when it comes to numbers.
