Ooh, Tales was released.. how long until it gets here?

[Louieturkey]

What General Knowledge do the Japanese need to be trained in?

[MaryJane]

I want pokemon!

PS2 is outselling Xbox360?

PS3 is going to flop... Oh wait, that hasn't come out yet.

[couchmonkey]

General Knowledge training?  DS is becoming a one-hit wonder.  Once people realize that there's nothing to do with it but training they'll realize it's just the homework system and they'll buy a PSP for it's superior lineup of Gundam and Namco games.

If I were Nintendo, I would release a new color (a limited edition Zelda DS) the day before the PS3 launch with 400,000 units in tow. Also, I would start a package deal that somehow includes the limited edition Zelda DS, Zelda TP, and the Wii.

Money in the bank...

[nitsu niflheim]

I would buy a Triforce Gold Zelda DS.

[KDR_11k]

Custom Robo DS sounded good in a review I read...

Nice, DSL numbers went up. Man, I just can't wait to see the sales figures once PS3 and Wii launch. I'm going to love seeing Wii and DSL the top 2 systems in Japan.

Wow! Supreme top ten domination again. How many Wii units is Japan getting at launch, should be a quite interesting battle between the DS and the Wii for superiority.

Last report I heard was 400k for Japan, 400k for Euro and 1 million for U.S. @ launch, but restock is every 3 days in Japan and Europe, not so sure about U.S.(another 1 million before end of 2006).

 

[Khushrenada]

Awesome. I love Wednesday's. Great to see the Kirby love in Japan. I know I'll be getting it first day of release. I'm also enjoying the battle between the 3 million sellers. Animal Crossing still has sold more but Brain Age 2 looks like it might surpass it next week. New Super Mario Bros. however may pass them Brain Age however, in two or 3 weeks. And coming up fast behind them is the Pokemon games together. Just awesome sales.

It's also good to see Rhythm Tengoku back on the list. I hope that game can keep selling. I'd welcome it here in North America. Yes, Vudu. I share your love of it too. Custom Robo doesn't seem to be doing to good on the other hand. Or has the series always been like this?

[Kairon]

A NeoGaf forums poster has come up with a quick little history of the DS' performance in Japan through pictures.

Nice! 9/10 are DS games^^ I'm glad to see Kirby doing so well too. The only thing is Tales of the Tempest droped off the top 10 ; ; It should be #10, knock off that PSP game.

[KDR_11k]

Custom Robo doesn't seem to be doing to good on the other hand. Or has the series always been like this?

Dunno, seems to be standard non-superhit game performance.

[redgiemental]

Sorry to be off topis but where did you hear that restock is every 3 days in Europe as I'm stuck without a preorder I'd like to know when I'm likely to be able to pick one up. A 3 day wait I could more than live with.

I saw it posted on NeoGAF

It was translated from some euro site to say that they expect replenishments every three days(for the rest of the year I assume)

[couchmonkey]

Restock every three days?  That's gotta be expensive.  But if it's true, good planning, it means that people will have many chances to get one.

Edit: Just doing some quick n' dirty calculations...if there are 9 more shipments of Wii totalling 600,000 in Japan (just a guess, I don't know if they'll give Japan 1 mil or not) then there'd be 66,666 each shipment...so in Japan Nintendo would be sending out 83% worth of Sony's initial PS3 shipment every three days in December!

[MaryJane]

How long before the DS has more 3million sellers, than the PSP has 1million sellers?

[Luigi Dude]

It already has.  In Japan, no PSP game has even hit 1 million and I think worldwide only Grand Theft Auto on the PSP has sold over 1 million.

[BlackNMild2k1]

I got a question that I'm sure no one here would have the time or patience to figure out.

How many of the top selling DS games would it take to outsell all of the PSP games combined?
