It's been roughly five months since the
Nintendo DSi launch in Japan (144 days, actually) and the updated handheld has been selling like gangbusters.
Famitsu (via
VG247) is reporting the landmark number of 2 million units, a figure that amounts to roughly 14,000 units being sold
per day in the country since its launch.
To put that in some perspective, the DSi has been outselling the now
totally boring DS Lite at roughly 7:1 on a daily basis in the country since its launch last November. 100k every
week in Japan -- on
average, no less! Our hats are off to you Nintendo, patiently awaiting some soup. You see there's this
recession thing you might've heard of. We're not doing so hot ...
