That Mario DS Lite one-two punch is pounding the competition and racking up impressive sales in America. Nintendo just dropped word and hit us with this closed-fisted release. Here's the breakdown:

• Since the May 15th drop-date, New Super Mario Bros. sold at a nonstop rate of roughly one every four seconds nationwide during the reporting period.
• Even though New Super Mario Bros. was in stores for only 13 days this May, it was the No. 1 game of the month.
• Since June 11th, a whopping 136,500 DS Lites have been sold. Retailers have been reporting sell-outs.
• The DS Lite is outpacing the 2003's launch sales of Nintendo's Game Boy Advance SP powerhouse.
• According to major retailers, sales of Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day tripled over the previous week thanks to the DS Lite.
• New Super Mario Bros. also got a DS Lite power-up with retailers reporting double the sales.

Impressive. I'm seeing shades of DS Lite fever that hit (and is still hitting) Japan. Brian Ashcraft
