 22.77 Million.

However, when this weeks sales come in next week, the America's numbers here will be higher.

Is this the first time the America's numbers will be higher? Because I don't know if it is.

Anerica's, because the DS sold 3.23 times better in the America's than it did in Japan last week.

Now...When will the DS numbers in Others be highter than the America's? DS is selling the fastest in Others.

@I Like Bacon: Sometime in the Past... If you notice, Others have the highest number of DS sold right now.

Aww ****!

DS Others is above America's. >_>;

I'm so tired I can't even look at the numbers right. XD

Sorry guys. But still, America's is gonna finally pass Japan's!

Wow! It's odd for them to be exactly the same. I would imagine the gap would just get bigger and bigger. Nintendo really needs to switch up their strategy with the DS in Japan, not that it's doing bad or anything. A new DS model I'm sure would do wonders. The DS vs the PSP is just a more aggressive competition in Japan, than elsewhere. It's still amazing, how well the DS is selling there, when it's saturated so much of the market.
