Nintendo of Europe confirms sales figures for the first ten days since the re-vamped DS launched...
Nintendo of Europe has today confirmed a successful launch for Nintendo DS Lite, with over 200,000 units of the portable handheld sold in the first ten days since it was released on June 23rd. Whist not as high as the 136,000 sold in North America within the first two days, it seems that Nintendo's European division are nonetheless satisfied with the figures to date:
"Nintendo DS has introduced thousands of new people to gaming and will continue to expand the gaming population due to its ability to appeal to both gamers and non-gamers. During Nintendo DS Lite launch weekend, retailers across Europe said that they had never seen such a vast array of different people buying the product, everyone from business men to young women to grandfathers! said Laurent Fischer, European Marketing Director, Nintendo of Europe.
The figure means that the total number of DS handhelds across Europe (including the original design)has surpassed the five million mark.
Nintendo has also confirmed that over three million copies of Nintendogs have been sold in Europe, along with 600,000 units of Animal Crossing: Wild World, and 250,000 copies of Brain Training (those Chris Tarrant ads must have paid off).
We'll have more news shortly...
