"The DSi seemed to have been struggling in its first few hours on the market, with very short lines being reported in some areas. However, some consumers later stated that lines of those waiting to purchase the handheld were exceeding past the 400 mark. Numbers are finally in regarding how well the DSi sold in its first two days, and the results aren’t too shabby. According to Enterbrain, the DSi managed to sell 170,779 units in those first two days. Not terrible at all considering Nintendo made 200,000 units available."

Not quite an "instant" sell-out - but not too shabby. I'm sure sales will continue to be strong after word gets around that units are actually available.

I personally can't wait for it to launch here (Australia) - forget the Wii, the DS is easily my console of choice at the moment :)

Nintendo made slightly less than 200K units available (they said so themselves), so that they could ship slightly over 100K next week. I guess that this means that it was very close to a sellout.

Anyone on this site bought one?
