Nintendo hits another milestone

Nintendo ships its 100 millionth DS system

The big N has done it again. This time with the Nintendo DS. The company has announced it has shipped its 100th millionth unit.

“Consumers have shown their love for Nintendo DS – 100 million times over,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “We are grateful that people of all ages continue to respond to our products, and we will continue to look for ways to please current gamers and create new ones.”

The timing of this announcement couldn’t be better. The third iteration of the Nintendo DS hardware, Nintendo DSi, launches in North America three weeks from now on April 5. It’s basically a DS with 2 built-in cameras. But hey, you know it’s going to sell like mad!
