Nintendo is usually boisterous with early PR updating fans and stockholders about a system launch. I'm not sure if I missed it but did Nintendo mention the DS in the past few days?

 

[MrAngryFace]

they'd need more systems

In before the obligatory, "SELL YOUR DS ITS ALL OVER!"

 

[Memles]

I'd say they're waiting until Monday to make some huge sales announcement so they can include Black Friday stuff in there. And talk about "Strong sales of all of their hardware" and shit like that.

Plus, PR might get lost at Thanksgiving.

 

[MrAngryFace]

What are you talking about, I thought all families sat around discussing press releases while eating their bird.

 

[StoOgE]

they will wait until after black friday, then they will say they sold more hardware than anyone else. Wont break it down by system.

This is from last year, BUT WHO'S STUFFING THEIR FACE WITH TURKEY NOW?

 

[SantaC]

No, but first signs is that Nintendo is optimistic:

Nintendo raised its global DS sales forecast for the fiscal year through March 2005 on Thursday to 5 million from 4 million. It had initially targeted 3.5 million in global sales.

They have usually issued pre-releases shortly after Black Friday (post Thanksgiving), so I'd expect one in a few days.

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

No, but first signs is that Nintendo is optimistic:

A raise from 4 mil to 5 mil?

Wouldn't this reflect the 2 million preorders when 1 million was expected thing in Japan?

I was correct last year. Sony and Microsoft were already full and waiting on dessert.
