GBA SP Becomes the Fastest-Selling Video Game System in History

REDMOND, Wash.--March 23, 2004--If first anniversaries are traditionally celebrated with paper, then the paper trail of sales receipts for Nintendo's Game Boy(R) Advance SP might be the most impressive first-anniversary gift ever. In its first year, the Game Boy Advance SP has sold more than 6.5 million units in North America, the highest one-year sales figures of any video game system in history, including home consoles. It also helped propel the Game Boy(R) Advance line to the most successful year in the 14-year history of the Game Boy(R) series, which has sold more than 160 million systems worldwide.
