Over 1 million Gameboy SP's sold
Nintendo will be happy with the fact that their latest handheld has been sold already over 1 million times in the US as this press release is reporting
I doubt there will be much room left in this market for competition but maybe Sony can pull a stunt with their portable Playstation like they did years ago with the original PSX.
More than 1.1 million units of the new self-lit, flip-top portable unit have sold in America less than 10 weeks after its introduction. The new model has sold at a rate of more than 10 per minute, non-stop, since launch.
"In our industry, any product selling more than one million units is a certified mega-hit," says Peter MacDougall, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Nintendo of America. "For Game Boy Advance SP to outsell each of the home console systems is testament to the expanding popularity of gaming on the go."
Game Boy Advance SP is compatible with virtually all 1,300 Game Boy titles including a current 375-title Game Boy Advance-specific library that will increase to more than 500 by year-end. In addition, a growing number of key software titles link play between Game Boy Advance and Nintendo GameCube(TM).
To build upon its success, Nintendo is launching new color casings. On Sept. 8, Onyx (black) and Flame (red) will join the current Platinum (silver) and Cobalt (dark blue) systems.
Well, I never suspected the Gameboy SP to do less than sell extremely well as Nintendo has finally gone back to the design of their earliest handhelds (remember the first Donkey Kong games which came in a handheld which could only play 1 game ?)."In our industry, any product selling more than one million units is a certified mega-hit," says Peter MacDougall, executive vice president, sales and marketing, Nintendo of America.
