Nintendo's new dual-display, touch-screen equipped handheld is proving to be big in the UK. The portable game machine sold nearly 87,000 units in its first two days at retail, giving the DS the biggest hardware launch in the UK to date, according to Nintendo Europe.
David Yarnton, Nintendo UK's general manager, describes the launch as "an unprecedented success; breaking all expected sales figures and even exceeding our expectations."

The Nintendo DS has sold over 3 million units worldwide

Cool I guess that just doesn't seem like a huge number to me.

Eh, but I'm sure PSP will do better than the DS here in America. Just a hunch.
