Fresh Figures Suggest Nintendo DS Is The Most Popular Console Of All Time

I must be the only person in the world that doesn't own a DS

vgchartz is not the most accurate source, but i'm sure that DS is up there with the PS2

Well done guys a big achievement and just goes to show the quality of the ds library (i know it had shovelware but a lot of the games are cracking).
This was my first console and i still have it. I use my 3ds now but i won't get rid of it. The best christmas present i ever had

A big milestone for the dying system. I wasnt counting with this. Maybe Pokemon pushed it forward enough.

The Nintendo DS = the greatest handheld ever.
Can't wait to play my last DS game,Pokemon Black 2, on Christmas day.

I find that 'rest of the world' figure so sad, since that's where I'm from.

Its no wonder publishers don't really take us seriously.

Mine shall be used forever.It is my favourite alarm clock.

I didn't saw this coming but now that I think of it it's not that surprising.
This is the console that paved the way to motion control andtouch screens in gaming and the precursor of the Wii U gamepad(and tablets too).It's even the console that got me into Nintendo and Sonic

Well this has been coming for a long time.

Good job Ninty!

That's very cool! Now that the Wii U has been out for a whole month in the US, I'm very eager to see how many units were sold nation wide for the month.

and it is still selling shiploads so those numbers will only go up.

Go Nintendo!

Best handheld ever. I've always felt the DS was the spiritual successor to the SNES.

That is crazy, haha, although I've been patiently waiting to see it happen for a while now.

This makes me want to go out and buy a new DS Lite. Hooray for the DS!

I really enjoyed my DS. I played it until it nearly fell apart. Good thing the 3DS came out when it did.

DS was used more for gaming or gaming-like apps, but the PS2 tended to be used more for DVD playback. So in the end, the DS sales will always be more impressive.

Congrats. And That Means Alot Coming From Me, Considering I Don't Find Much To Congratulate Nintendo About These Days.

Congrats Nintendo DS You have quite a lot of really amazing games in your library & are quite the amazing console. Thanks for all the good memories & here's hoping many more to come (by playing old games I missed )

I still have a DS lite in my room, I just need a new battery.

All thanks to the RS4 cards. People only needed to buy the DS and the games were for free.
I hope there will never be a crack for the 3DS.

this is awesome news! also, the DS overtaking the gameboy is also remarkable. that system had so many great games, i never thought it would be beaten in terms of sales, if you asked me 3 or 4 years ago if this would happen.

but it is an incredible achievement.

looking quite fresh so no wonder ;p

I was kind of sad when I traded in my Red and Black DS Lite for my 3DS (making it $100 at the time), just because I wanted to keep the DS. I'll probably pick one up on the cheap eventually, just to have one.

Well...I used to play DS....

@Freak_Show Dragon Quest and Layton are

You did it little guy!!! I always knew you could!

It's well deserving of the honor. The DS has loads of great games!

VG Chartz stopped tracking PS2 sales a few years ago so it's not really a surprise the DS has finally passed it on the list.

That is quite a feat for Nintendo. Congratulations!

DS is unstoppable! Way to go Nintendo.

@chiptoon #6
Did you see how small the number for the "rest of the world" was in comparison to the big sellers? I

@MadAussieBloke I don't too, because my DSLite is broken. asd

I'm not surprised as some of the greatest Nintendo games were released on to the little bugger!

@Molotov Hey. Would You Stop Captitalizing Every Word Like This, Because It Is Really Annoying?

If any console could do it, it's the Nintendo DS.

So happy for it! Even if the PlayStation 2 was my main console for many years.
