Electric Blue Nintendo DS Bundle Sparks Sales



Major retailers are reporting sales of Nintendo DS 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 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, which launches on Aug. 22. The pet simulation lets DS owners train a lifelike puppy chosen from one of 18 popular breeds.

Sales increased 86 percent only becaused they launched a new color? I can't believe that.

About the Nintendog, it seems like a good idea, but personally I hate to take care to silly computer animals that do nothing good to me.

[glow=purple,5,300]LOL, you know, a lot of people thought that the game was a very bad idea and that it would not sell. But after it's release, a lot of people has changed their mind. Nintendogs has recieved a perfect 10 score by most of it's reviewers. But if you really don't like the "pet simulation" genre, then I think you will not like this game. I'm thinking of giving it a try before deciding to buy it or not.[/glow]

I'll say that there are many people willing to spend their money on new DS just because they look cool ...

They Buy the DS the same day it is release and as a cooler color comes out they want it. On the other Hand there are others that treat poorly their thing and hence need new ones by now.
