Major retailers are reporting sales of Nintendo DS(TM) units have increased 86 percent over the weekly average. The spike can be attributed to a special bundle featuring the new Electric Blue version of Nintendo DS that comes with a copy of the top-selling DS game, Super Mario(R) 64 DS. Since the launch of Nintendo DS in November, more than 1 million copies of Super Mario 64 DS have sold, making it the most popular DS game available.
The Electric Blue DS debuted on June 6 and the special bundle offer runs at select retailers through July 31. Although the bundle focuses on Electric Blue editions of Nintendo DS, retailers also will honor the bundle with the Titanium color Nintendo DS.
Strong DS sales are anticipated through the end of the year, buoyed by Nintendogs(TM), which launches on Aug. 22. The pet simulation lets DS owners raise and train a lifelike puppy chosen from one of 18 popular breeds.
