Nintendo DS is best selling console in Europe
Tuesday 5-Jan-2010 2:19 PM And Wii fastest selling home console in history, Nintendo boasts
The Nintendo DS has become the best selling console in European history, Nintendo's boasted.
The DS family, including DS Lite and DSi, have shifted over 40 million units in Europe, it says, and the handheld's achieved the milestone in less than five years - a new console record.
In similar willy-waving, the platform holder's claimed that Wii has become the fastest selling home console in Europe by reaching the 20 million milestone in just over three years.
On the software side, Wii Sports Resort has shifted around five million copies in the five months since its launch in late July, says Nintendo.
More baffling numbers come in the form of New Super Mario Bros. Wii's 2.5 million copies sold since November, and Nintendo claims that nearly half of all European Wii owners also now own either Wii Fit or the new Wii Fit Plus (that's 9.6 million copies).
