Originally Nintendo thought that the DS would be an experimental videogame console, expecting it to only capture a small amount of market share and really pushing it as a high-tech gizmo and gadget that some people would find fun but kind of gimmicky.īy the end of 2005, however, more than 50 million Nintendo DS game consoles have been sold and to date more than 154 million Nintendo DS game consoles have been sold all over the world. This videogame console kept the same handheld form factor of the original Game Boys but included a second screen that flipped up, a second screen that worked in tandem with the primary screen and allowed for a lot of new and innovative games to flood the market.

The introduction on the Super Nintendo only took things to another level but then this Japanese company shook things to their very core when they released the Nintendo Game Boy. While not the first videogame system to launch, the original Nintendo Entertainment Center completely and totally changed the videogame industry from top to bottom.
