In what is
yet another statistical landmark for the DS in its homeland, the data gatherers at Media Create have revealed that Japanese consumers have purchased their
100,000,000th Nintendo DS game.* Considering the handheld itself hit the twenty million mark only

pretty good attachment rate! In total, 922 titles have appeared in the region, 21 of which have been million-sellers. Hit the break for the top ten best-selling games to date.
* Rumors that the 100,000,000th game sold was
Bangai-O Spirits are yet to be verified, and are suspected to have originated at popular Nintendo DS blog "
DS Fanboy."
