All Nintendo DS models combined have sold 154.02 million units, making it the best-selling Nintendo system, the best-selling handheld game console to date, and the second best-selling video game console of all time, overall, behind Sony's PlayStation 2. On November 21, 2009, Nintendo released a larger version of the DSi, called the Nintendo DSi XL. On November 1, 2008, Nintendo released the Nintendo DSi, another redesign with several hardware improvements and new features, although it lost backwards compatibility for Game Boy Advance titles and a few DS games that used the GBA slot. On March 2, 2006, Nintendo launched the Nintendo DS Lite, a slimmer and lighter redesign of the original Nintendo DS with brighter screens and a longer battery. However, backward compatibility with Game Boy Advance titles and strong sales ultimately established it as the successor to the Game Boy series. Prior to its release, the Nintendo DS was marketed as an experimental 'third pillar' in Nintendo's console lineup, meant to complement the Game Boy Advance (GBA) family and GameCube. Its main competitor was Sony's PlayStation Portable during the seventh generation of video game consoles. Alternatively, they could interact online using the now-defunct Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service. The Nintendo DS also features the ability for multiple DS consoles to directly interact with each other over Wi-Fi within a short range without the need to connect to an existing wireless network.

The DS, an initialism for 'Developers' System' or 'Dual Screen', introduced distinctive new features to handheld games: two LCD screens working in tandem (the bottom one being a touchscreen), a built-in microphone and support for wireless connectivity.
