Nintendo doubles up Sony’s PSP, ships 100 millionth DS handheld

The number includes original DS, DS Lite and DSi systems, and clearly, those sales are still going strong. The original DS launched way back in late 2004, while the totally hip DSi is slated to ship here in the United States in under a month. So, who’s taking bets on how long it takes to hit the magical 200 million mark?
