Another fantastic week for Nintendo. Can you imagine if they actually managed to succeed with the rev and instead of 4 PS2 and 6 DS we had 4 DS and 6 Rev?! An ALL NINTENDO top 10? OMG.

Mother 3 comes out on the 20th, I wonder how well it will sell? It's been on top of Famitsu's most anticipated list for three weeks in a row now. Hopefully its huge! GBA's last million seller?

Highley unliklely, theres still lots of life left int GBa and I expect there will be plenty other owesome games for it in the next year until the next GB gets announced.

Mario · « **Reply #1652 on:** April 12, 2006, 05:37:05 PM »

Million seller? I highly doubt it. 100k if it's lucky, though I don't know much about the popularity of the Mother series there. (Famitsu most wanted charts are misleading)

God, I can't begin to imagine the loads of money they've made on brain Training. I mean...the games took 10 people 4 months to make. And they's sold almost 5 million copies collectively. I mean...$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

wow, those number for the pokemon title are kind of low to be honest, is this "the" Diamond and Pearl games? or is some sort of spin off?

Artimus · « **Reply #1656 on:** April 13, 2006, 08:11:35 AM »

It's Pokemon Ranger.

Apparently, it's not a TRUE Pokemon game.

It's kind of a spinoff/exploration of the touch screen.

People have stopped buying FFXII already, it's about to leave the chart, gimmick game.

I love how you say a 2 million + seller is a sparkling innovation game.

I love how you haven't figured out that Mario's always sarcastic when he posts Media Crate Sales. He was saying the DS was a flop when it was selling 300,000 units a week.

mantidor · « **Reply #1660 on:** April 13, 2006, 03:00:47 PM »

Pokemon ranger I see, well I thought otherwise because the "diamond/pearl" in the title, I wonder how much the real pokemon game will sell...

RiskyChris · « **Reply #1661 on:** April 13, 2006, 03:32:39 PM »

I'd consider getting back into Pokemon... I quit after gold. How different is it lately (i.e. are there 10 gadzillion pokemon?)?

Hey, people call the Brain Training games gimmick games without hesitation. As we can see from these charts Brain Training is not a one-time gimmick for three-time pick-up-and-don't-play gamers, unlike FFXII which was a one-month gimmick never to be heard from again from those non-lotsoftime-gamers. Everyone who was interested in it bought it straight away, it's a dying fad, and the mainstream gamers ignore it.

Mario isn't online right now for some reason even though the hardware sales are now out...So...*ahem*...

DSL 154,731
DS 49,825
PSP 30,565
PS2 28,896
GBASP 5,211
GBM 3,103
Xbox360 1,940
GC 1,224
GBA 110
Xbox 46

As one can plainly see, the DS is nothing more than a phenomenal flop...360 clearly has momentum as can be seen by it's steady lead over the GC...

...

I suck at this... ;_;

Hocotate · « **Reply #1664 on:** April 13, 2006, 05:29:24 PM »

DS + DSL = 204,556
PSP = 30,565

It's nice to see the pwnage continue

Bloodworth · « **Reply #1665 on:** April 13, 2006, 05:43:27 PM »

The sales were actually slightly lower this week. Will be interesting to see where things level off now that supply is steady.

Mario · « **Reply #1666 on:** April 13, 2006, 05:57:58 PM »

Number of games in top 50:
DS - 24
PS2 - 13
PSP - 7
GBA - 5
X360 - 1

vudu · « **Reply #1667 on:** April 13, 2006, 07:01:13 PM »

What's the Xbox 360 game? DoA or RRXX?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #1668 on:** April 13, 2006, 07:46:44 PM »

I'd assume it's Rumble Roses...

Avinash_Tyagi · « **Reply #1669 on:** April 14, 2006, 10:50:06 AM »

Yuri wrestling, of course its going to be the most popular 360 game

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #1670 on:** April 14, 2006, 11:01:47 AM »

I just now noticed Nintendo owns 6 of the 9 systems people are buying in Japan at the moment.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #1671 on:** April 14, 2006, 11:31:04 AM »

just goes to show that people are wrong when they say Nintendo sucks and doesnt make any money.

If you count the three GBA systems as separate systems, then yes.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #1673 on:** April 14, 2006, 03:42:01 PM »

The thing about FFX2 being a flop is there's probably 5 times as many PS2s in Japan as there are DS systems...for the next couple months at least.

vudu · « **Reply #1674 on:** April 18, 2006, 05:05:50 AM »

NPD March rankings (not sales figures)

I'm not sure what's funnier, the fact that no PSP games made it into the top twenty or that the only GameCube game to make it is Sonic Riders.
