Nintendo DS Tops 10 Million Sales In The UK

The Nintendo DS has become the best-selling console in UK history after managing to shift more than 10 million consoles in its lifetime. This means it surpasses greats such as the PlayStation and PlayStation 2, as well as older consoles such the Gameboy.

The research was published by GfK Chart-Track and it shows that nearly one in six people in the United Kingdom now own a DS - staggering figures. With the Nintendo Wii also being the fastest-selling console in UK history, things are still extremely positive for Nintendo as they head into the Christmas season.

Nintendo are hoping the Wii's most recent price cut, which sees it retailing for less than £150 at most retailers, will stem the tide, as sales have begun to flag in recent months.
