As we just mentioned, Firemint’s highly addictive “Flight Control” is out Monday on DSiWare and here’s some footage of the game running on a DS.
Nintendo of Europe have their gloating cap on again, this time declaring that the Nintendo DS has sold over 40 million units on the continent. It has taken less than five years to hit that milestone, which makes it the fastest selling piece of gaming hardware too.
The DS’s big brother, the Wii, has also made some serious cash with 20 million machines moved in just over three years.
In the six or so months since Wii Sports Resort was released, the game has sold over 5 million copies (must be time for another Wii MotionPlus enabled game then eh, Nintendo?) and New Super Mario Bros. on Wii has sold over 2.5 million.
That’s some impressive figures right there!
After the storm that was ‘Final Fantasy XIII‘ helping the PS3 sell bucket-loads the week before Christmas, the Wii has bounced back into top position in Media Create’s hardware sales in Japan.
No doubt this is thanks to NSMBW, helping to shift a few consoles and the fact that FFXIII went from selling 1.5 million the week before to under 200k Christmas week! The DSi managed second place just ahead of the PS3 which itself was ahead of the PSP…

Swedish developers ‘A Different Game’ have announced that they are bringing their popular mobile phone game ‘Ghostwire’ to DSiWare.
The game utilises the DSi’s camera to scan your home (or wherever you are playing) to use as the games background. When you locate some spirits, it is your job to find out why they are haunting you and try to make peace with them.
It seems like a unique idea for a game by using the camera on the DSi and we hope more developers follow suit with innovative ways of using the new DSi’s feature.

Stephen Totilo, new editor over at our friends site Kotaku, has come up with a variation on the NPD Group’s monthly sales data. Ok, so this might not be very exciting, but I’m sure stat fans will be excited to see the daily breakdown of sales for each console over the month! Unsurprisingly, the DS(i) came out best in April, shifting 38,519 units per day. That’s up 22,433 from the previous month.

With the launch of the Nintendo DSi in North America last month, Nintendo managed to shift over 1 million DS consoles on the continent, NPD Group sales data has shown. The new DSi moved about 827,000 units while the DS Lite managed 215,000. That’s a combined 31% of total industry unit sales for the month.
While the DS sold nearly double the total it did in March and over double the sales from the same month last year (414,800), sales of the Wii declined both on a month-to-month and year-on-year basis. Total sales for Wii in North America in April were 340,000.
The declining sales can be partly explained on the Wii by the lack of blockbuster game releases. This time last year Mario Kart Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl had just been released, helping to shift hardware.
Xbox 360 and PS3 were also down year-on-year meaning video game hardware sales for April 2009 totalled $391.63 million, a decline of 8%.
