Figures released courtesy of the UK’s leading independent music,
video and software performance and sales tracking company,
Chart-Track, show Nintendo’s NintendoDS
 and
NintendoDS Lite handheld consoles are now being enjoyed by over
three million people in the UK. Reinforcing it’s position as the UK
market leading hardware format of any kind for 2006, NintendoDS has
already established itself as the UK market leading hardware format
again so far in 2007.
The huge success of Nintendo’s range of Touch! Generations
games in the UK has helped to secure Nintendo¹s lead in the UK
handheld market, combined weekly sales of NintendoDS and NintendoDS
Lite in the UK alone account for 68% of the handheld console market
so far in 2007.
Commenting on the success of NintendoDS in the UK, David Yarnton,
General Manager, Nintendo UK said: “It’s a great testament to the
strength of the DS hardware and software range available, that just
as NintendoDS has passed its second birthday here in the UK, it
reaches such a landmark sales figure. With many more Touch!
Generations games launching in 2007, NintendoDS and Wii will
continue to be the main driving forces behind the expansion of the
videogame market this year.”
Nintendo’s Touch! Generations range, a selection of
innovative software titles designed to appeal to people of all ages
and gaming experience, even those who may have never even played
before and features a raft of already hugely successful titles
