Indeed, did DS even have a revision/price cut in its first 58 weeks? I have no idea.

I don't know about any price cut or anything, but the DS Lite was released in Japan on March 2, 2006, which would be about week 66 for the DS I think.

(DS released 12/2/2004 in JP and the DS Lite released 3/2/2006 [M/D/Y])

IGN says the DS hit the 5 million mark on the 56th week.

It was a shaky first half and a record breaking second half for the 3DS, so kudos for that. Hopefully this year will be even better for the handheld. The great games are coming, so there's definitely things that we gamers can look forward to in 2012. ^_^
