Nintendo's DSi Has First Day Success & More Talk on Local Release

The Nintendo DSi has seen a successful first day with many Japanese retailers reporting in stocks are sold out, with some saying stocks sold out only through preorders.

Nintendo's latest version of the DS, the DSi, has today launched within Japan and surprisingly passed many's expectations regarding sales.

Many retailers within Japan are reporting that many people queued for their own DSi, with some retailers having around 300 people in their queue, with many learning that they queued for nothing as the DSi sold out pretty quick. Some retailers of course sold out before the DSi was placed on shelves due to preordering.

Satoru Iwata, Nintendo's President, also reconfirmed the fact that the Nintendo DSi will be released next year in places like North America and Europe. Along with that the DSi will be made available in several new colors, other than black and white.
