QUOTE said:DS is more popular than the Game Boy. Yes, Nintendo's latest handheld has beaten the total lifetime sales of its original handheld console.
According to Edge, 129 million DS consoles have been sold since it launched in Japan and the US in 2004 (it was released in the UK in 2005), beating Game Boy's lifetime sales by 11 million units.
Meanwhile the lifetime sales of Wii currently stand at 71 million. Not bad, eh?
I was suprised, I thought the Gameboy was much higher. Maybe it is down to there also being a lot more people in the world 20 years later?
