DS sales

The new Nintendo DS handheld has sold 500,000 units in the US since its launch last week. Nintendo expects to sell 1 million by the end of 2004. Not bad when you consider the iPod took 19 months to do that. However, the US is one thing, Europe is entirely different. It will be interesting to see how sales go on this side of the pond, especially if Nintendo's marketing and PR is as invisible as ever..
