10 Million NDS Units in the Americas - Q1 Lineup

by Rainier on Jan. 25, 2007 @ 12:57 p.m. PST

Nintendo DS now is in the hands of more than 10 million consumers in the Americas. Since launching in November 2004, nearly nine Nintendo DS or DS Lite have sold every 60 seconds. Nintendo also revealed 20 titles are lined up for Q1 2007.

"More than 5 million people joined the ranks as Nintendo DS owners in America last year alone," says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "And right now, they're all saying the same thing -- 'give me more!' Fortunately, no matter your taste or experience in gaming, that's exactly what we're supplying in the months to come."

Following a year in which Nintendo DS taught the world to play in new ways, the planet's most popular video game device will school the cash-fisted buyers in the early months of 2007. Before March ends, Nintendo will send Diddy Kong racing, obscure Wario in a series of disguises, challenge you to pimp your robo and lure the most daring into the dimmest room at Hotel Dusk. In all, 20 new DS games will launch in the United States in the first three months of 2007. The full list by launch month:
