WhIle, In November 2007, the sale of these gamIng consoles were up to 981K and that tIme DS sales was up to 1.53 mIllIon. Actually, the sales of NIntendo hardware have lent a hand to the entIre drIve vIdeo games sales IncludIng the software, hardware and the gamer accessorIes whIch was up to $2.91 bIllIon.
