The DS now outsells the PSP by a rate of over 2.5 to 1.

We're all used to these facts and figures about the DS practically kicking some hide all over the World. This time, it's the United Kingdom.

New figures have come in which show that more than two million DS units have been sold in the UK.

"The ability of Nintendo DS to appeal to both gamers and non-gamers alike through an exciting, fun and innovative portfolio of software has been instrumental in its success in the UK," said David Yarnton, general manager of Nintendo UK.

"Nintendo DS will continue to be the main driving force behind the expansion of the video game market this year."

With Nintendo concentrating all of its efforts to release the Wii worldwide, are we seeing a major shift in the games industry? Is innovation really driving customers to purchase 'different' types of systems than in previous years?

We shall soon see.
