Sony and Nintendo have both released the numbers of their console sales over the Thanksgiving weekend and they are big! The Sony PlayStation 3 sold 440,000 units in the U.S. for the week ending November 29th. Nintendo announced that they sold over 1 million DS and DSi handheld console units. And the Nintendo Wii sold over 500,000 units for the week ending November 28th. Microsoft’s statement was that they sold twice as many 360 consoles during Thanksgiving week compared to the week before.

Nintendo is getting ready to launch the DSi in 3 new colors in Europe. The new colors are red, blue, and turquoise. In the U.S., Nintendo launched the DSi in pink and white earlier this month. Facebook photo uploading will come preloaded with the new colored devices. The devices will also have the Flipnote Studio application.

In Japan, Nintendo has released a black Wii but Americans were not given the same option.  However Nintendo is willing to meet us halfway by allowing us to have white Wiis have black Wiimotes.  The black Wiimotes and nunchucks will be available this holiday season.  Nintendo will also have a pink and white DSi added to the line-up on September 13.

Facebook photo upload support has been added to the Nintendo DSi.  The feature was actually added on August 3rd.  The feature was added after a system update.  Facebook integration was added in the camera/photo gallery module.  Your Facebook account can be set up by selecting the icon next to the Star, Shamrock, and Heart.

Tapping the Facebook icon causes a pop-up to appear.  There is a Facebook login page that appears in the pop-up.  Once you enter the information the first time, it remains auto-filled after that.  After selecting a photo, you confirm that you want to upload it.  After uploading the photo, it appears in an album called “Photos from Nintendo DSi” on Facebook.

The Nintendo DSi has a built in digital camera, but the resolution isn’t that great and there isn’t much of a zoom either.  The digital camera is 0.3 megapixels.  Nyko invented a solution to enhance the zoom camera on the DSi.  Nyko’s Zoom Case is a plastic cover that slips over the DSi.  An 8X-optical-zoom lens is screwed to the camera.  After attaching the external lens, the camera can take 640×460 pixel images.  Although there is no final price announced for the Zoom Case, it is rumored that the cost is between $20 and $40.
