| Nintendo DS sales hit 5 million units in Japan Domestic sales of Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s DS portable game machine reached 5 million units in less than 13 months after its launch in early December 2004. Nintendo's Game Boy Advance took 14 months to hit the 5 million mark in Japan, and Sony Corp.'s PlayStation 2 took 17 months. Besides advanced video games with sophisticated graphics and realistic actions, Nintendo focuses on games for women, adults and seniors - traditionally non-core segments for game makers - in a bid to expand the overall game-playing population. Domestic shipments of one such game, Nintendogs, which lets players interact with virtual pets in the console, have so far totaled 1.08 million units. write your comments about the article :: © 2005 Game News :: home page |
