Because nobody knows what it is.

That's a shame. I have 9 DS games, and Meteos gets the most time.

It's weird that the game that gets the less time is the best selling game, SM64DS.

i was at my local Better Buy and the Nintendogs games were cleared out. LIke all gone. Completely sold out.

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #553 on:** September 13, 2005, 06:30:32 AM »

Yeah, I can't find Nintendogs or Sacred Stones anywhere.

Poor Geist. Poor, poor Geist.

Geist is like the most underappreciated game ever made. It makes me sad.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #556 on:** September 13, 2005, 10:21:13 AM »

I hate everyone that didn't buy Geist, just so you all know that... >=|

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #557 on:** September 13, 2005, 10:41:07 AM »

If I had Money and TIME to play Geist I would buy it...does that count. I don't have the time I had before at all though.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #558 on:** September 13, 2005, 10:54:56 AM »

Did they even advertise geist? I don't remember seeing a single commercial. Nintendo really needs to ramp up the advertising budget and get some fresh minds in on the advertising campaign train.

They should have advertised the hell out of this game right before 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' movie
They should also update their demo kiosk more than every 4-6 months... is there even a demo out?

Advertising Campaign Train

Nintendo needs to get their A.C.T. together

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #559 on:** September 13, 2005, 10:59:38 AM »

There's been a demo out for a while now, and there were planty of commercials for about 2-3 weeks. Nintendo probably knew this game was doomed form the start though, so why waste a ton of advertising money on it? A mature rated first person adventure game with mediocre graphics released late on the gamecube does not sound like a winner no matter how much you push it.

See? this is why we will get Mario Party 23 before we get a Geist 2. Or Eternal Darkness 2, or Killer 7 2, or Beyond Good & Evil 2...

Chris1 · « **Reply #561 on:** September 13, 2005, 11:31:30 AM »

oh there were plenty of Geist commercials, especially on Mtv, so they did advertise that one quite a bit, and still are maybe, as i saw one as recetnly as yesterday

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #562 on:** September 13, 2005, 01:07:21 PM »

well I hate MTV and only watch it accidentally when someone else already has it on the TV.
although I do like one show on MTV - Nick Cannons Wild'N'Out

I think I saw one commercial once and that was it, they should have just delayed it to REV and completely revamped the graphics for next-gen, needless to say I will buy the game once it hits the $20.00 bargain bin (which should be pretty soon)

Toruresu · « **Reply #563 on:** September 14, 2005, 06:21:53 AM »

You know what's sad? Those Polarium numbers. Polarium is a good game and yet, no one buys it.

Renny · « **Reply #564 on:** September 14, 2005, 12:41:06 PM »

They need to advertise on TCM. Then I can see the commercials and feel confident that NOA are on the right Track. Also VH1 Classic.

Sales for this week:

DS     47,239
PS2    26,156
PSP    22,133
GBASP    8,997
GC    1,923
GBA    506
Xbox    118

When did the white PSP come out? Surely it can't be within this period.

1day · « **Reply #566 on:** September 16, 2005, 02:48:17 PM »

The amazing looking white PSP came out on the 15th, along with the Winning Eleven Game. We'll see how this combo does soon enough.

Media Create 9/12-9/18

1 PS2 Shin Sanghoku Musou 4 Moshouden (

) - 203,000 (NEW)
2 GBA Famicom Mini: Super Mario Brothers (Nintendo) - 187,000 (NEW)
3 NDS Tamagotchi (

) - 150,000 (150,000)
4 PSP WE9 UE (Konami) - 107,000 (NEW)
5 GBA Super Robot Taisen J (

) - 95,000 (NEW)
6 NDS Gyakuten Saiban DS (Capcom) - 65,000 (NEW)
7 GBA Dr. Mario + Panel de Pon (Nintendo) - 53,000 (NEW)
8 NDS Brain Training (Nintendo) - 37,000 (552,000)
9 GBA Mario Tennis Advance (Nintendo) - 34,000 (NEW)
10 NDS Yawaraka Atamajuku (Nintendo) - 24,000 (491,000)

Insane sales by Super Mario Bros re-re-re-re-release. PSP's "killer app" got beaten by Tamagotchi on DS. Phoenix Wright (Gyakuten Saiban DS) actually has another limited edition version which sold about the same as it in the daily charts, so it's probably like #11 or #12 here, so the game did very well. Also incredible continued sales from both Brain Trainings, which are now over a million combined. It's impressive they stayed on with all these new releases, they'll probably move back UP after this.

Third pillar indeed.

Hardware sales soon.

Artimus · « **Reply #568 on:** September 21, 2005, 08:22:44 PM »

This should be a big week for PSP, with the white version. It SHOULD top the charts.

Mario · « **Reply #569 on:** September 21, 2005, 08:37:26 PM »

Gameboy Micro will top the hardware charts.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #570 on:** September 21, 2005, 11:01:41 PM »

unofficial hardware #'s - Famitsu?

1 GBA M 148,000
2 DS 62,000
3 PSP 55,000
4 PS2 23,000
5 GBA SP 14,000
6 GC 2,000

GBAm + DS = 210,000!!

poor psp...

Mario · « **Reply #571 on:** September 21, 2005, 11:22:48 PM »

Hahaha, that was the only chance PSP had of outselling DS for the rest of the year, looks like my "PSP will never outsell DS again" prediction from a few months ago was right.

Artimus · « **Reply #572 on:** September 22, 2005, 04:26:40 AM »

Door lord! If those are really the PSP #s then Sony must be crying pretty hard right now.

If only America followed.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #573 on:** September 22, 2005, 06:08:56 AM »

I doubt Sony is crying. 55,000 is fine, I bet the PSP is doing better than any Sega system ever has in Japan, and probably better than the N64, too.

Toruresu · « **Reply #574 on:** September 22, 2005, 06:27:07 AM »

Sony crying? More like advertising the heck out of PSP. I've started to see the same launch adds running almost on every channel, exclusives on the PSP's capabilities on local newspapers and even on local radio. It's crazy.
