360 almost caught up to the cube, and those Japanese love their DSs

How can people still be buying the original DS? The Lite is sooooo sexy.

If you can only find the original one, I guess?

Do these numbers include used system sales?

i do not know, but I doubt it. It is hard to keep track of console sales let alone used console sales.

In Japan the retail industry doesn't really follow the same rules as the U.S. retailers.

Maybe they are getting them dirt cheap.

I like how GBA is beating XBox in console sales.
