Ok,so what's the last record? Maybe that'd give you an idea about the number of units sold

- highest day-one sales of any portable system in the company's history
- first-week figures available on April 14th via NPD

"Nintendo worked hard to get as much product as possible to retailers on day one to meet demand, and we will continue with these efforts moving forward." - Nintendo statement

i want to know this also!

How many?!?!?! Come on Nintendo release that Press Release!

NPD will say about 600,000 - 850,000.  EMEAA will post about 450,000.

Can't wait to see if they broke PS2's NA first day sales record ($250m).

Last was GBA I guess? (Or would this even include the iOS devices!?)

I'm worried, though - since they said "portable system", there's a good chance they didn't top PS2.

Didn't catch that part. I guess I just read the title.

This is actually more encouraging, though, since they didn't make any comment about other products at all, meaning that they probably didn't have sufficient data about others to do so, and they could've still topped them.

That's great but will it last LTD wise? That's where it counts.

The real thing is that if there had been that many DSs, I bet they all would have sold too
