US: DSi XL sells 141k

MCV Staff 19th April 2010 Business News

As part of NPD’s US market stats last week, it has been revealed that Nintendo’s DSi XL sold 141k units in March, Gamasutra reports.

Note, too, that the machine was not launched until March 28th, meaning that that number was sold in just four days. Total DS sales for March, including all sales of the DS in its various guises, hit 700k.

The XL is Nintendo’s fourth iteration of its DS hardware line and boasts two huge screens, a larger stylus and integrated memory.

There’s no word yet on the machine’s UK performance to date. It was launched here on March 5th.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
