2 million pre-orders have been recorded for the Nintendo DS in Japan. Rather stunning amount as there is just 1 million being shipped.

If Nintendo want to stop gamers going to the PSP for their fix they better stump up some cash to produce more consoles.

Stupidest thing ever. All of the idiots that bought one no longer have one, which gives them a little credit back I suppose.

N-gage has sold over 1 million units!

It would sound impressive if it weren't for the Nintendo DS preorders of 2 Million in Japan alone...

Haha, guess what ad I saw on TV last night?

"IT HAS ARRIVED: GIZMONDO"

Worst. Name. Ever :D *Waves goodbye as it follows the N-Gage into oblivion*

It needs longer to work in Europe though.

Still, I can't wait! I'm just glad their are tonnes of Xbox and GameCube games out in the mean time to overwhelm me.

They will be VERY well stocked for Europe I'd imagine...

And the hype machine has longer to work too.

Britain is a country stereotyped to be full of tea drinkers but there's no shortage of tea is there.

2 Million pre-orders is very impressive and so I hope Nintendo make every effort to meet the demand - as well as meeting European demand when it finally gets released over here.

When I went to buy my Gamecube just a month after release I could only find one left in one shop in Cardiff.

Some out of town small shops may have had some left but I wasn't prepared to go looking that hard.

I expect Nintendo to be well stocked with DSs for release.

2 million pre-orders?

Does that top even the PS2?
