Nintendo DS becomes best selling system ever in U.S.

47 million. That’s the number of Nintendo DS systems that Nintendo has sold since November 2004 making it the biggest selling system ever in North America. That total includes the original “fat” DS, the DS Lite, DSi, and DSi XL systems. Quite an impressive number but not shocking considering the wide audience of the device.

I wonder if the Nintendo 3DS sales will be included in that figure when it launches in March or will it start it’s own tally? We’ll see.

During 2010 Nintendo also reached another milestone, they sold more than 7 million Wii consoles in the U.S. for the third consecutive year.

About Dynamite Jack

I began playing video games in 1981 at age five on my family's Atari 800 and have been hooked ever since. I cut my teeth on such non-classics as Star Raiders and Salmon Run before moving to the NES I got for Christmas in 1987. (Yes, I had R.O.B. the Robot)

Over the years I've survived numerous console wars like the SNES vs Genesis, PlayStation vs. N64, and the brutal Dreamcast vs. PS2. I'm the proud owner of all of today's consoles and the only preference I have is for great games. Fanboys begone! I like liking things :)
