Nintendo DSi: More than 500,000 sold in just one month

Nintendo’s printing factory continues unabated! More than 500,000 DSi’s were sold last month in Japan, its first month of availability (the DSi won’t come out in North America or Europe till the first half of 2009), which suggests that gamers there are still enamored with the device.

The exact number of DSi’s sold was 535,379, from November 1 to November 30.

Add in the number of DS’s sold, including the DS Lite and original DS—note that the DSi doesn’t play GameBoy Advance games—and the total climbs to 24.2 million units.

While we’re on the subject of Nintendo DS, any of you play Chrono Trigger yet? It’s good, duh, but good enough to buy it again?

  • re: Chrono Trigger, depends on how well you remember the game. I just got the DS version yesterday, and it plays great so far, but I only have vague memories of playing it so most of it has seemed kinda “newish” to me so for. Plays well, graphics look good, etc.

  • same as kap.
    I find it entirely worthwhile.
    I didn’t remember the details of the story, but I had pretty accurate recollections of certain scenes, which I really enjoyed re-playing 10+ years after.
    Plus, they’ve included the FMV cut-scenes they did for the PS1 port.
    however, Frog no longer speaks in Olde English.
