Do any of the mods know...

...how well the ds sold during its launch week here in the US? any numbers at all?

don't u just love the topics don't let you know what's in the thread?...hehe

Since the psp won't be coming to the US until sept...answer the poll.

That is a tough question. I will try to contact Nintendo on this so please hold on.

I know it is selling like hot cookies. Regarding the price drop.... I have no idea. If somebody is telling you anything about the price drop they are just speculating.

90% of all that were made were sold this week. Thats 900,000 units!

[ElementK]

Sorry, 500,000 not 900,000.

[macrosick]

either way its a good amount of sales...will probably sell out by christmas...i hope

anyway, the reason i ask about the price drop is, although i like the silver ds, a black would be sick, and i know that with the competative pricing of the psp..nintendo will have to do something, at least i hope so. thanks though

500,00 thats a pretty big number... Is it true that the DS was the 2nd best selling system even when it wasn't released?

[macrosick]

ps2 and gba have sold more overall....

2 million preorders is a ton though

I'd imagine early may, late April....they should've changed it on launch day though or at least packaged a game in.

Any news on the shortage?
