Count one for me, as I purchased mine in Japan.
Damn that’s crazy. Somehow it doesn’t feel anywhere near as big here in Japan as DS did – certainly not the games. The Switch is popular but it felt like everyone including old grannies etc who weren’t traditional gamers had Brain Training, Animal Crossing etc on DS. They definitely don’t have Switches now so I wonder what the deal is.
It’s insane that they’ve been able to surpass the Nintendogs / Brain Training juggernaut.
I still dont believe that they can beat what the ds, what the ds did truly was outstanding.
In a time where technology wasnt much prominent as today, it was bought by everyone . And yet , it sold that much, the game library is insane too.
No one can bad mouth 4 consoles: ds,3ds,psp,psvita.
Only NDS, not including WII.
Edit, I meant NDS+Wii combined.
Thought the Switch hit this milestone months ago. 🤔
