Not only was the Nintendo DS the best selling console of 2008, but it now has been for the third year in a row. Since its launch in 2005 the consoles sales year on year just keep going up. One the Wii front, the console has reached 1 million units sold in 111 weeks on sale the fastest selling console to reach that mark; previously it was the Nintendo at 152 weeks. More inside Nintendo also reminded us that it took 8 of the slots on the top ten games list sold last year in the country. That’s Below.
