Nintendo confirms that North American DS sales top 10 million, four months slower than Europe...
Earlier in the week, Nintendo confirmed that sales of Nintendo DS hardware in Europe had topped 10 million units, just twenty-two months after the portable system reached this side of the Atlantic. Today, Nintendo of America announced that the same figure had finally been reached in 'the Americas', having taken twenty-six months to do so.
Breaking the figure down, Nintendo has revealed that nine DS or DS Lite units have been sold across North America every sixty seconds since it was launched there in November 2004.
Making the announcement, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime commented: "More than 5 million people joined the ranks as Nintendo DS owners in America last year alone...And right now, they're all saying the same thing -- 'give me more!' Fortunately, no matter your taste or experience in gaming, that's exactly what we're supplying in the months to come."

Maybe if Europe wasn't treated with active contempt by Nintendo, the R4 wouldn't be so damn popular, and there'd be a bit more brand loyalty >_>

"**Recently, Ubisoft's CEO Yves Guillemot outlined the problem that they faced with the DS market, albeit not blaming the device specifically:
"The considerable contraction in the DS market during the year particularly affected Ubisoft, leading to a €160 million, or almost 50%, year-on-year drop in the Company’s casual segment sales."**"
I look at this section and think what utter morons ubisoft have working for them.....there is a
world-wide Recession on so casual sales are going to take a huge hit for everyone....not all people can still casually drop the cash for luxuries like new DS carts or X-Box discs etc
