Every console except the DS Lite, Nintendo DS, and Xbox 360 (48 consoles more!) sold less this week than last week’s already low numbers. The DS numbers have been getting a bit erratic as of late. It looks like the cause of that is supply issues. Finding the console is proving to be almost impossible. What Nintendo will do when they launch in other countries next month will be interesting.
Also, the Nintendo DS has now sold (not shipped) over 8 million units in Japan alone. This took the console just under 18 months making it the fastest selling console in Japanese history. The DS and DS Lite combined are now at 8,158,293 while its competitor, the PSP, is at 3,455,419. Both handhelds launched in December 2004.
