DS Fastest Selling Japanese Console

Gamasutra reports that the DS is officially the fastest selling console in Japan. The console has taken just twenty months to sell 10 Million units. From the article: "As noted in the report translated by consumer website GameSpot, the Nintendo DS has been credited with reversing the shrinking Japanese games market, with Nintendo DS software and hardware dominating sales charts for at least the last twelve months. With a population of around 128 million, these latest results show that nearly 8 percent of Japanese consumers now own the console." Update: 08/02 21:20 GMT by Z : Fixed reversed month/unit numbers. Sorry, apparently lisdexic today.

Zonk needs to reread the article,10 mil 20 monthes by kinglink · 2006-08-02 09:06 · Score: 0, Redundant

Article CLEARLY states 10 million units in 20 monthes. Not 20 million in 10 monthes. Both numbers are great, but let's get a little accuracy up there.
