Nintendo of Europe Reports Updated DS Sales Figures
3.5 million DS units sold across Europe; 13 million worldwide.  January 5th, 2006 (1:46pm) - Nintendo of Europe today released new information regarding the state of the Nintendo DS in Europe. Since its launch, the Nintendo DS has sold through 3.5 million pieces of hardware in the territory and the most up to date worldwide figures show the handheld at 13 million units sold worldwide.
In Europe sales of Nintendo DS have been significantly bolstered by the launch of ground breaking games such as Nintendogs, which sold 1.6 million copies in Europe since launch in October and Mario Kart DS which stormed the Christmas charts with its global Wi-Fi capabilities, selling 800,000 copies in Europe since its late November launch. European gamers have a lot to look forward to in 2006, with the launch of Prof. Kawashima’s Brain Training: How Old is Your Brain? and Animal Crossing: Wild World, both of which have been a huge success in Japan, selling over one million each, and are launching soon in Europe.
