Apparently, the 5.44 million DS units sold in 13
months in Japan make the Nintendo DS the fastest selling console ever. From the article: "This makes the DS the
fastest-ever selling console to hit the magic and mightily impressive five million sales, beating the GBA which took
over 14 months to reach the same number. Sony’s PlayStation 2, by comparison, took 17 months to hit this
many."The DS truly has impressed. Makes you wonder if the handheld's success is somewhat of a surprise to Nintendo itself.
