That's one million less than two million but one million more than the PSP.

According to Nintendo of Europe, Nintendo DS sales have reached one million in Europe. The DS launched on the 11th March 2005 in the region, and it sold 500,000 units in its first three weeks alone.

Owners of the GBA Play-Yan Media Player will soon be able to upgrade the unit's movie playback capabilty. An update is in the works that will allow for higher-quality MP4 format movies to be displayed, as well as the addition to listen to them in high-quality stereo sound. Currently, the Play-Yan is only capable of playing back ASF format MPEG-4 video in mono sound.

AFTRA is still going through with the new deal, but the Screen Actors' Guild decides it's still not a fair one and pulls out.
