Perhaps in the wake of Sony's claims that their Playstation Portable outsold the Nintendo DS in the US, Nintendo released some sales figures today.

In the year and a half since its launch, more than 21 million DSes have been sold worldwide. To put things in perspective, Apple only managed to ship one million iPods in the first 19 months. I hesitate to use Nintendo Math, since they tend to use things like business hours and such, but according to their mathematicians that works out to one DS sold ever two seconds "non-stop, since launch."

So in the time it took me to sit here and ponder the color of the sky, 20 DSes sold. Brian Crecente
