Nintendo revealed some figures regarding the first week of sales for Mario Kart DS and let me tell you, the game is a total hit.

Beth Lewellyn, NOA Senior Director of Public Relations said this about the MKDS results:

“We are ecstatic with the results, and this definitely sets the standard for future Wi-Fi online gaming,Mario Kart should easily be a million seller in its life cycle, and we’d love for everyone with the game to touch the Wi-Fi experience. We’ve got Animal Crossing just around the corner, and Metroid Prime Hunters next year, with more to come.”

According to Nintendo the game has sold over 112,000 copies and 45% of the buyers have at least tried the wi fi connection. Great numbers for a first week, with the european release this week the numbers will go even higher.
