DS lite plays a huge part in increasing sales.
The DS lite prints money. That is a firm fact. According to GameStop, they have recorded third quarter sales of just over US $1 billion (EUR 779 million), up from US $534.2 million (EUR 416.6 million) from the previous year.
Strong sales of the DS lite and Xbox360, as well as consistent sales from the Playstation 2 have contributed to its success.
The retailer recorded profits of US $13.6 million (EUR 10.6 million), up from a loss of US $2.5 million (EUR 1.9 million) for the same period in 2005, attributed to consumers waiting for the launch of the Xbox 360.
It's always good to see the industry booming. We wonder if the Wii will contribute to any further success to GameStop. We sure hope so.
