Well that makes things look even more wrong in regards to the DS.

 Going by those figures the DS Lite sold 200k in January alone...but only 100k total for Feb,March,April,May and June combined?? That seems nuts.

Now obviously the DS Lite sales would slow due to the DSi..but they wouldn't drop that much surely (especially since Dsi wasn't released until april).

January is one of the biggest months of the year for sales, so it's no surprise that DS sold 200k that month. Nintendo announced DSi for Europe in February, and obviously sales dried up as a result. Just look at Japanese sales to see how much DSlite sells compared to DSi, it's insignificant.
