Major retailers are reporting sales of Nintendo DS units have increased
eighty-six percent over the weekly average.
The sales spike can be attributed to a special bundle featuring the new Electric Blue version of Nintendo DS that comes with a copy of the top-selling DS game, Super Mario(R) 64 DS. Since the launch of Nintendo DS in November, more than one million copies of Super Mario 64 DS have sold, making it the most popular DS game available.
The Electric Blue DS debuted on June 6, and the special bundle offer runs at
select retailers through July 31. Although the bundle focuses on Electric Blue editions of Nintendo DS, retailers also will honor the bundle with the Titanium color Nintendo DS.
Strong DS sales are anticipated through the end of the year, buoyed by Nintendogs(TM), which launches on Aug. 22. The pet simulation lets DS owners
raise and train a lifelike puppy chosen from one of eighteen popular breeds.
