DS the best-selling system in the UK
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 3 Comments
Very recently, the DS became the fastest-selling console ever in the UK. Yet the handheld has already managed to obtain another achievement in the same country. Data from GfK Chart-Track shows that at the end of week 27 this year, the DS sold 10.05 units in total. This means that the portable surpassed the PS2 in sales, which stood at 10.02 total units sold. Of course, the DS has accomplished this in a much shorter period of time at a little less than five years.

Nnooo interested in messaging/video conferencing for DSi
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 2 Comments
This information comes from a recent podcast…
“Well, we got a really good one we would love to do which we are calling myChat, that would basically allow users to instant message or video conference or call each other through Nintendo Wi-Fi, but unfortunately, because Nintendo DSi isn’t classified as a communication device like the telephone, it is in a real grey area, so we had that to put on hold at the moment just because Nintendo aren’t yet ready. We thought it would be really cool, but we can’t go futher with that unfortunately.” – Nic Watt, Nnooo
I could see this type of download being very successful if it ended up on DSiWare. I do hope that Nnooo can resume work on this project sometime in the future.
Thanks to NintenDaan for the news tip!
