Nintendo UK Will Continue To Sell DS Hardware This Year

Ds, DSi, Nintendo, , , ,

dsi_orange

Earlier today, Nintendo’s financial results from last fiscal year led us to believe that the Nintendo DS hardware would no longer be sold for the current year. However, Nintendo UK have stated that they will be continuing to sell DS hardware – although this is not indicative as to whether the console will be coming to a halt later this year.

“Nintendo will continue to sell Nintendo DS Hardware but is not revealing a unit sales forecast at this time.”
