141,000 DSi XL units sold in U.S.
The new, larger iteration of the DS handheld series, the DSi XL had a strong debut month in March says video game analyst Michael Pachter.
Although it was only available for four days in March, Nintendo still sold 141,000 units, with the full line (DS Lite, DSi and the XL) selling 701,000 units for the month.
If accurate, the number is very high considering the XL sells for $190, a premium price from the DS Lite (MSRP $130) and DSi (MSRP $170).
The screen of the XL is 93 percent bigger than the DSi, and Nintendo has said it is aimed at users that want to use the Internet more, making the text easier to read.
The DSi LL (the Japanese name for the XL) went on sale in November and has seen strong sales since, with almost 750,000 sold in its first two months.
Globally, DS sales are approaching 130 million.
