Nintendo has confirmed that life to date sales of its Nintendo DS series have reached 128.89 million units, eclipsing the record-setting total of Nintendo’s own Game Boy.

Nintendo sold 27.11 million Nintendo DS systems during its fiscal year ended March 31, 2010.

“In spite of lower unit sales versus last year, “Nintendo DS” life-to-date unit sales have surpassed the “Game Boy” series, which was released in 1989 and became the biggest selling handheld gaming device worldwide,” said Nintendo.

Nintendo will official unveil its success to the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS at E3 next month.
