I see, so that´s where you are coming from. In this case you are comparing two completely different things, though. Just take a look at DS lite sales numbers, it didn´t sell 550k units during its first weeks on the market and that´s the important thing. Those 300k units are only the first two shipments Nintendo planned. They will not magically stop shipping new units after week two.

In case the new model really sold out (and I mean nearly all 200,000 units available) than it would have actually beaten the DSL´s  first week already.

Again, this is not to say the launch will be better but it is mathematically possible. I am certain Nintendo will ship more than 300,000 units during November if (!) demand makes it possible for them.

Actually the market penetration for the DS stands at almost 18 percent of the whole nation, there is still a lot of people who could potentially buy the DS.

Cool, I always love the hype Japanese have for new gadgets and games. I'm glad it sold well, should provaide a very solid X-mas for the DS.

Now bring on Monster Hunter 3, it should easily beat those lines.

DSL had 550,000 shipped first week, but sold only 124,000.

DSi will be huuuuuuuuuge lol

Will ioi be combining DSi sales with DS sales? (If so the LTD number will be ridiculously huge).

Yep... there are plenty of homeless dudes to purchase it :P (jk)

and why shouldn't he, since all the PSP iterations are lumped into one "PSP" catergory.

Just look at this HUGE line...

DSi is going to sell like LBP was supposed to sell =p
