This was still the case in Japan as of April 25, 2007, with stores turning away potential customers every day and selling out quickly. Since restocking was erratic, looking for the product often involved several visits to different retailers, and most of the time without finding the product. When new product arrived, it would sell out within days. This shortage would last for most of 20 with retailers all around the country having permanent signage apologizing for the shortage but stating that the arrival time of new stock was unknown. The shortage was supposed to be eased after Nintendo released 700,000 Nintendo DS Lites during April 2006 however, retailers in Tokyo sold out yet again by late May 2006. Even though Nintendo managed to release 550,000 units in March 2006 (which was above their initial projections), the DS Lite was sold out soon after its launch. Due to lack of supply and excessive demand following the launch, many electronics distributors raised the retail price of the redesigned handheld console. In Japan, the Nintendo DS Lite was released on March 2, 2006. The Nintendo DS Lite was announced on January 26, 2006. As of March 31, 2014, the DS Lite had shipped 93.86 million units worldwide.

It has been released in Australia, North America, Europe, New Zealand, Singapore, and defined regions in South America, the Middle East, and East Asia. It was announced on January 26, 2006, more than a month before its initial release in Japan on Madue to overwhelming demand for the original model.
