"Unbelievable"

The DS has had a solid start in America and Europe but it is the Japanese that are making it the mega success it is:

I agree that there are a lot of Japanese appealing titles (such as GEntle brain exercises and Nintendogs). But it is still doing well over here, selling around 3 million in Europe and America. A good score.

The runaway success of the DS in Japan could easily happen for the Revolution (in Japan)... re-building your fan base on the home ground will give Nintendo a much needed boost, will hit Sony and make the console war a far closer affair this generation.

I want that girlfriend game.

It's no wonder it's selling so well with games like Gentle brain Exercises.

Bloody hell, that is rather amazing.
100,000 consoles.

It's a very Japanease s**tyle console though if you really think about it.

Mos**t Americans and Europeans will look at it and say "2 screens and a dog simulator? that's sh*t!"

Where as the Japanease would say "2 screens and I can blow up my girlfriends skirt on Hodashi no Denki Gechu Girlfriend Simrulator"

Heh, I'm a junkie, apparantly, and not even I'd believe that.

That's a lot of GBAs. Is the Micro out there yet?

100,000 DS's in a week... and 20,000 GBA's... Nintendo are the biggest games company in Japan this year.
