Nintendo DS Top Selling Game System For 2007
Nintendo has projected the DS as the top selling video game system for the year of 2007. More than 6 million Nintendo DS portable video game systems have sold in the United States in 2007 through Nov. 30, according to internal Nintendo of America Inc. sales numbers. That’s a rate of about one sold every five seconds of 2007.
“There’s no letup in sight,” says George Harrison, Nintendo of America’s senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. “Nintendo DS appeals strongly to both core and casual gamers, and its momentum is set to propel us into 2008.”
Before 2007, Game Boy Advance held the all-time U.S. Thanksgiving week sales record, with 600,000 systems sold in 2005. The Nintendo DS beat that Thanksgiving week record with more than 650,000 sold.
