DS sold 6 million in U.S. this year, Nintendo toots own horn

Nintendo has dished out a press release, reminding us all that the DS is one popular device. In selling 6 million units through November 30th of this year, Nintendo has figured out that the sales break down to about one DS sold every 5 seconds, causing them to suspect it'll be the top-selling video game system of the year. That's pretty damn impressive, if we may say so.

Of course, those strong Thanksgiving sales did their fair share of helping the DS reach this goal. But, it still has a bit to go before it reaches the kind of popularity it has in Japan.
