Way to go! The little handheld that could, where does it rank on all time handhelds and video game systems in general now?

I <3 my DS!

Less than the total GB sales and GBA sales but it will soon pass them easily. This year DS will outsel GB most likely.

 

GB = 118 million

GBA + GBA SP + GBA micro = 127 million

 

Your numbers are wrong... GBA+GBASP+GBM=81 million... where did you get 127?????

 

 

But congrats for the DS

Those aren't actually my numbers, I got them off wikipedia, but that website is not 100% reliable, 

81.48 million GBA,    43.54 million GBA SP   ,  2.42 million  GBA micro.

 

 

That had to be a mistake Itt happens all the time, but it seems that its correct now: Worldwide: 81.48 million, all versions combined (as of March 31, 2009).

 

Thats why the DS is doing so well... the GB line needed over 11 years to achieve 118 million the DS needs roughly half that time. Its growing fast as hell, and its not showing any signs of stoping anytime soon

Jesus DS is a monster!  I wouldn't be suprised if they could outdo 200 million.   But still Wikipedia can be full of false info.

I was just going to ask about 200 million. That would be over half the population of the USA. I know that's worldwide figures, but that puts it into perspective.
