US: DSi sales top 2.2 million

Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed the DSi has shifted more than 2.2 million units in North America alone.

In an interview with CNBC, the Nintendo exec praised the strong performance of the new handheld, expecting this success to continue in the upcoming holiday season.

Fils-Aime also discussed the positive results of the recent Wii price cut and named Walmart as the company’s largest retail partner in the territory.

On a retail basis, certainly from my region – which is Canada, the US and Latin America, Walmart is my biggest customer,” he said.
