Pink DS Lite out in Japan today

.. just a follow on from my previous entry about the power of Nintendo and the DS Lite, today saw the release of the Noble Pink DS Lite colour.. of course, with such a colour change, it can't possibly generate the hype and sales as its predecessors... right? WRONG!

A quick glane as several source sites, of Kotaku and Famitsu show that there were lines (not humonguous ones though) and guy and girls gamers were queuing up for a new colour, something thats rarely seen in the western world im sure.
