As reported on my Examiner page, Nintendo has released a chart that shows 26.1 million DS units have been sold in Japan. The chart then shows that those 26.1 million DS units equals out to 20% of the Japanese population owning a Nintendo DS. Those numbers mean that 1 out of every 5 Japanese people own a Nintendo DS. That's crazy.
Many of these DS units sold though are from gamers who upgrade DS systems, lets say a user who purchases a DS Phat then purchases the DS Lite. Or from those who owned one of the previously mentioned DS systems and gets the new DSi. Or even when a new color comes out or limited edition DS has been released.
Either way, the fact remains that enough DS units were sold in Japan that 1 in 5 of the Japanese population own a DS.
Visit my Examiner page for more information and discussions regarding the 26.1 million DS systems sold in Japan.
