Shocker: DSi sells big, sells out in Japan


Seriously, who's really going to buy another Nintendo DS? Everyone who could get their hands on the Nintendo DSi during its first four days on sale in Japan, it turns out.

According to JCN, Nintendo shipped 200,000 of the revised handheld for launch, 170,779 of which were sold within two days. That's nearly as many units as the "old" DS was selling in the country per week up to that point. Within four days of launch all 200k were sold through, with Nintendo promising a shipment of 100k additional units by Friday, Nov. 7.
