DS Shipping Out?

Since the release of the Nintendo DS is only 15 days away, the heads of Nintendo thought it would be a smart idea to start shipping out their DS units to retailers worldwide.

They are trying to push 2 million units by the end of the year, with half of them heading over to North America. Nothin is knwn about how many will be available for the U.S. launch, but rumors are circulating that retailers will be recieveing a single shipment of for the holiday season. If this indeed happens, it would make things increasingly difficult for gamers who didn't pre-order a DS to get their hands on one. But Nintendo is expecting the demand to far exceed the supply that will be available for the DS during the holiday season.

As mentioned, the DS will be on sale November 21, and will be available at an MSRP of $149.99.
