Following the announcement of impressive sales in Japan for its very popular DS handheld, Nintendo Australia has announced that the DS has sold one million units in the country, citing data from the data research company GfK.
The DS sold 509,869 units in 2007, slightly more than was sold in 2006. The sales were boosted by a December surge in which 133,691 units were sold.
The company also reported that the Wii console saw strong sales as well, following similar announcements in Japan and Europe. In the 58 weeks since launch the Wii had moved 300,000 units said the company, matching the last reported sales figures for the Microsoft Xbox 360 which has been out much longer.
