Forums - Sales - DS hardware sales to surpass 10.0 million for just Nov & Dec??

From the week ending November 4th 2007 to the week ending December 16th 2007, DS hardware sales have hit 7.3 million worldwide.  Lately, sales have been north of 1.5 million.  Sales next week could approach 2.0 million/week.  Afterwards, sales decline in the west, but pick up in Japan.  It looks as if 10.2/10.3 million for November and December worldwide.

What do you all think?

For comparison, it took PS3 and Xbox 360 ~ a year to hit 7.0 million sold from launch...

This is pretty intense. What is the fastest a PS2 sold 7 mill. Did they ever do it in 2 months? I doubt it.

Apparently all those people who thought they were hardcore gamers (but were not, they were frauds) have finally wised up and are buying a DS.

 These were just the early adopters.



the VGChart says that PS2 peaked at about 1.7 million units/week. DS did 1.6 million last week.

Next week should be interesting.



holy crap more like it. thats insane numbers.

would the wii if available to do it , would it sell at this level?



I want wii fit and I want it now

 

No, the Wii can't sell like the DS. The deman in Japan and Europ isn't strong enough.
