In just two years on the market the Nintendo DS has racked up UK sales of three million units and quite understandably Nintendo is pretty happy about things.
“It’s a great testament to the strength of the DS hardware and software range available, that just as Nintendo DS has passed its second birthday here in the UK, it reaches such a landmark sales figure,” commented David Yarnton, General Manager, Nintendo UK.
Much of this success can be attributed to the massive popularity of Nintendo’s Touch! Generations games which include the cutesy Nintendogs and the mind taxing Brain Training. There have also been strong sales for some of Nintendo’s more established franchises including Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and New Super Mario Bros.
“With many more Touch! Generations games launching in 2007, Nintendo DS and Wii will continue to be the main driving forces behind the expansion of the video game market this year,” concluded Yarnton.
