So in the US last month, both the DS and DSi systems combined sold more than 766,000 units. That’s more than all current-generation consoles combined. The NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States, released the numbers the other week clearly showing the hand-held systems’ domination over the competition. While I don’t have the exact numbers, the break down had nearly 424,000 DSi systems and more than 342,000 DS systems sold. 

“More consumers continued to gravitate toward products that offer quality experiences and great value for the whole family,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Consumers again selected Nintendo systems for those experiences, particularly our hand-helds.” Their other systems weren’t doing bad by any means either. Wii Motion Plus accessories also seem to be doing very well, and the system itself is still going strong despite the intial craze starting to die down. Of course, that leaves me wondering, how many people are still having a hard time finding the console? I’d think by now there really shouldn’t be any sort of shortage.
