Nintendo's DSi has sold 535,379 units in Japan since its November 1 launch, according to a report from Enterbrain. The latest cog in the company's perpetual money-making machine was reportedly short on supply for the first few weeks, which most readers should know by now is the modus operandi.
To date, the DS lineup has sold over 24 million in Japan since launching December 2004. The not-so-hack proof DSi should be launching worldwide by Summer 2009.

The DSi is just wasted opportunity. Nintendo should have taken this chance to upgrade the DS's innards: processing/graphics/memory capacity/ etc.
You know, things that actually matter in hardware revisions. I just don't see the point in having cameras or a music player.

The DSi is just a new revision... great games are still coming for the system, and it's selling way better than any other current gaming system.
There is no need for a DS 2.0 right now...

It is kind of a half-step in the generational sense, but it allows the DS as a whole to live on until 2011, which is probably when the next set of Nintendo consoles will come out. Mayhap they plan to coordinate them like they did with GBA and GC back in 01

offday, I liken thought processes such as yours to racist people. Or supporters of McCain/Palin. Of course that's pretty much one in the same.
