DS Sells 20 million, 17 Million More by March 2007

Wowzer writes "Nintendo announced today that sales of its hand-held, dual-screened video game player, the Nintendo DS, have topped 20 million worldwide (guesstimates say 21,270,000). Nintendo expects DS (Lite) sales to be 17 million between April 2006 and March 2007. From today's financial report: 'The company raised its full-year sales forecast of the DS handheld game players to 17 million units for the year ending March 2007, up from 16 million unit sales projection made in May. Sales of DS game titles are projected to rise to 75 million units, from 70 million.' The report refers to PSP owners as just combat-game fans, while the DS is said to target a wider audience with more diverse games such as the 6 million seller Nintendogs." I will say, I was very skeptical when I first heard about the DS and the split screen — but having played a number of different games, I've found I like it. But I have not played Nintendogs, unlike some other people I know.

Way to ingrain gender-stereotypes. Just make sure the daughter isn't gaming too much, or else she'll start slacking on learning her way around the kitchen.

It may come as a surprise to you but it's okay for a girl to like pink. It's also okay for a girl to want to cook too. It's okay for a girl to have children and stay home and raise them properly.

It's also okay for a boy to like blue, play football and hunt critters.

Just because you have been trained to be a close minded biggot blinded by your facist liberal professors doesn't mean either of you are correct.
