“The DS Lite launched in South Africa with much fanfare in February 2008. Since then, Nintendo has sold 20 000 DS Lites into the South African market, sales largely driven by games like Dr. Kawashima’s Brain Training and Nintendogs, reflecting the appeal of the system to a new and untapped gaming demographic including women and even seniors. Traditional games like New Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart DS keep people coming back for more.” - Nintendo PR

20,000 units may seem like a paltry sum when we see the numbers that the rest of the world puts up, but I believe this figure is actually pretty good for the area.
