30,000 Nintendo DSis sold down under
Nintendo Australia announces launch figures for the latest revision of the Nintendo DS.
Nintendo’s latest handheld games device, the DSi, hasn’t yet been on sale for a full calendar month, but the company is already heralding its sell-through rate for the new console after its first 11 days on shelves.
Following in the footsteps of the US and Europe sales figure announcements, Nintendo today confirmed sales data for the third iteration of Nintendo’s DS--the Nintendo DSi in Australia. This latest revision adds two integrated digital cameras, slightly increases the size of the screens, and adds SD memory card support. According to Aussie games data tracker GfK Australia, during the first 11 days of sale, the Nintendo DSi has sold in excess of 30,000 units.
Compared to previous Nintendo DS hardware launches, the original Nintendo DS "Phat," as it has been dubbed by fans, sold 20,000 consoles during its first month at retail, while the smaller and brighter-screened Nintendo DS Lite sold a mere 4,000 units over the course of its first seven days.
Since launching the original platform in 2005, the Nintendo DS has sold over 1.9 million consoles to the Australian market, more than 200,000 of which have been sold since late January this year according to the Nintendo release.
At the time of publication, Nintendo Australia was unavailable to comment on the sales of its downloadable DSiWare games, which launched alongside the DSi on April 2.
