50 MILLION Nintendo DS Units Sold in US

Posted on Thursday, October 13 @ 18:59:37 Eastern by

Let's think about this for a second. According to a deep look at the latest census statistics (I just googled it) the United States has a population of 307,006,550 as of July 2009. According to the latest sales figures provided by Nintendo, the DS, the company's dual-screened handheld in four different models, has sold over 50,000,000 units in the United States.

....

With seven years since launch, the Nintendo DS has sold a F***TON of units. That means it's possible roughly 1 in every six people in the United States have owned a Nintendo DS at some time.

I'd rather not think about the worldwide totals at the moment. I think I need to lie down. Do you have 50 Million of anything? Let us know in the comments.

    Well, there is the local 6 tacos for 5 bucks deal twice a week. If I decide to go there for lunch on those days, taking my regular estimate for taco consumption up until this point it would take....

    Approximately 80,096.3 years. Invest in Pepto Bismol everyone, I have a feeling I may spark a jump in demand for it.
