Fastest console to reach 10 million in UK
Bengt Lemne 10 December 2009

Nintendo have reached another impressive milestone with their incredibly popular DS platform. Since the original Nintendo DS launched in March 2005 it has sold more than 10 million units in the United Kingdom. That is faster it took Playstation 2 to reach the same number. It is estimated that 1-in-6 people in the United Kingdom own a Nintendo DS.

Nintendo credit the Touch Generation titles with a lot of the success, and we would like to celebrate the accomplishment with a picture of the original Nintendo DS.
