Nintendo’s third iteration of its popular handheld shifts 535,000 units in its first month on the shelves
Though European gamers still have no idea when Nintendo’s third generation DS handheld will arrive on continental soil, the DSi has enjoyed a great start in Japan with a solid first month’s sales.
Figures from Famitsu publisher Enterbrain show that the DSi sold 535,379 units in its first month on sale, just fractionally behind the month one sales of the DS Lite, which in its day managed sales of around 550,000.
Total sales for the machine in the territory, including numbers for the original DS, DS Lite and DSi, now stand at 24,239,590.
