News: "The World's Most Popular Handheld" crows Nintendo.
Nintendo has announced that the DS has sold 21 million systems worldwide since it's launch on November 21, 2004. In less than two years it already has a larger installed base than Nintendo's GameCube.
"We're thrilled to be announcing this milestone today," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications, "especially since Nintendo DS was North America's top-selling video game system of any type in June. We attribute this success to Nintendo's overall strategy of offering something for everyone Ц from five-year-olds caring for their Nintendogs to 65-year-olds tuning their mental agility with Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day."
For comparison's sake, estimates say between 18 and 20 million PSP systems have been shipped to stores since it launched.
