Nintendo Gaming / RE:Official DS Sales Thread

I don't think those numbers are too insane.  I know they plan on shipping 400,000 units.  Zelda, Wario Ware, and another could all do 50,000-100,000.  I don't think the Japanese got a pack in game did they?

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Where the hell are the US Wii commercials?!

Hi, new to your forum!

Nintendo probably has a very specific plan for when they want Wii to become popular.  Right now in North America DS is selling like never before and is likely the most popular video game machine in the world because of it.  The advertising is at full blast and people are gobbling them up.  I think this Xmas DS numbers in the US will be astounding.  We are a year behind Japan.

I was in Japan last year and I saw Nintendo advertising in full swing.  It was Dec/Jan and the machine was on sell out everywhere.  On the damn transit trains there were LCD monitors advertsing Brain Training 2.  The TV spots were very similar to the current US TV spots.  The hype for the machiine was huge

I believe they will hit hard with the Wii ads at the latest possible time.  They've got the cash its all about timing.
