Nintendo DS reaches 21
On November 21, in the year of our Lord 2004 the Nintendo DS was released. As of July 24, in the year of our Lord 2006 ( a little under 2 years), the Nintendo DS has reached the 21 million in sales worldwide. That is equates to 23 systems per minute. Which brings the Nintendo DS close to selling one every two seconds since its launch. "We're thrilled to be announcing this milestone today," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications, "especially since Nintendo DS was North America's top-selling video game system of any type in June. We attribute this success to Nintendo's overall strategy of offering something for everyone -- from five-year-olds caring for their Nintendogs to 65-year-olds tuning their mental agility with Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day." {07/24/2006}
