The Nintendo DS has reached a mind-bogglingly impressive milestone this month, with worldwide hardware sales figures reaching the 100 million mark.

Game Industry.biz reports that Nintendo has reached the figure as from March 6, 2009, just one month before the launch of its latest hardware revision, the DSi.

That figure is set to grow when the DSi arrives on 3 April, priced £149.99. The DSi's new features include two cameras, a bigger screen, a DS-specific download service, an SD card slot and music playback functions.
