The Nintendo DS was launched last Thursday in Australia and already Nintendo are claiming that he DS is the Most successful Console launch in Australian video game history!

"The retail and consumer feedback from Thursdays Nintendo DS launch has been astounding’, Nintendo Australia sales and marketing director was quoted as saying. "We are eagerly awaiting the official market sales figures this week to fully solidify our place in the Australian marketplace as the most successful current hardware launch ever."

Good on them to be honest, the Gamecube after all has abysmal sales in Australia. This news should pick them up a bit.

Like I said, unless I change my mind. I'm waiting to try it out at Game or somewhere. But unless the price is over £200 I'm pretty sure I'll go for the PSP.

Unless I change my mind (again), I'm going for PSP. A touch-screen sounds like a gimmick that will wear off all too soon.

So it looks like the DS has been doing pretty well overall, hopefully it'll do well here too.

Everything is a lot cheaper over there.

It's good that the DS is doing pretty well over there.
