The Nintendo DSi launched on Saturday, and Ninty hasn't held back on manufacturing the console. While we westerners can only look on mournfully (or cough up petrifying amounts of cash for one of our own), Ninty shipped almost 200,000 DSi units for the launch in Japan, which has been lovingly photographed by Game Watch.The official terminology for 200,000 is A Lot, but is it enough? Surprisingly, if the Lite is anything to go by, then it should be plenty. The DSi's predecessor sold 68,438 units during its first three days on sale, so 200,000 DSi consoles will probably keep Japan going for a while, though Nintendo will play it safe and release a further 100,000 this week. It's as though lessons have actually been learned from previous hardware shortages. In which case, bravo, Nintendo!Gallery: Nintendo DSiNintendo DSi floods Japanese market originally appeared on DS Fanboy on Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.Read
