Nintendo was glad to talk about their latest milestone:

Nintendo’s Touch Generations range of software, which has been expanding the definition of videogame, has resonated strongly with people of all ages, extending its appeal to a non-traditional gaming audience, which now sees people aged between five and 95 picking up and playing Nintendo DS consoles.

The first Nintendo DS was launched in the UK back in March 2005 and has steadily been making big strides in the market ever since. Nintendo estimates that about one in six people own a DS, and when the DSi LL comes along, the wider target market may influence the sales positively.
