Nintendo has announced strong sales figures for its DS console in Japan!

According to everyone's favourite Japanese company, the Nintendo DS -which was released in Japan in December, sold over 1.4 million units during its first month on sale.

Frankly, these sales figures are staggering, especially considering all the scepticism surrounding the machine -fuelled by the obligatory fanboys and Doomsayers, now all that remains is to wait for the system to see a release over here. With the Press Announcement regarding the details of the European launch being held later in January, you can guarantee that Cube-Europe will be there to report all the news as it happens.
