Nintendo, Japan's game console giant, has sold more than one million units of its portable game machine, "DS Lite," its Korean unit said Wednesday.
Launched earlier last year, the DS Lite consoles have appealed to a wide range of game users including women in Korea, which contributed to the sales milestone in such a short period of time, Nintendo Korea said in a press release.
The palm-sized game machine has been regarded by many local experts as a success in Korea where online games are generally more popular than console games dominated by Sony and Microsoft. Its simple and easy-to-play software helped expand its customer base here including men and women in their 20s and 30s, they added.
Nintendo, famous for its classic game title, "Super Mario," commenced its official Korean operations in January last year with the introduction of the DS Lite console model.
