As new colors and themes begin to surface, the DS Lite continues to take Japan by storm. According to recent numbers, the DS Lite sold 575,000 units last month bringing its grand total to 2.6 million since its launch. The system certainly has been quite the killer, despite some who claimed early on that the dual screen idea would just be a gimmick.
In software news, New Super Mario Bros. sold nearly 1 million copies this past month with a total of 1.8 million bought in Japan. Proof that the Mario franchise is as strong as ever -- at least over there. With Nintendo still chugging along so well, could this be signs of a successful Wii to come?
