Nintendo DS a hit down under
Nintendo is already calling the February 24 launch of its dual-screen handheld in Australia that country's best hardware launch of all time, though official numbers aren't due until tomorrow. According to retailer feedback (and widely reported in the Australian press), the DS has sold like gangbusters in its first week down under. In other markets, more than 2.8 million units have been sold in North America and Japan through mid-January. The next DS launch will take place in Europe on March 11.
