Topic: Official DS Sales Thread

It may be the fault of retailers.  I really don't see Nintendo stopping production on any million-plus selling game, but retailers don't really seem to devote as much space to handheld systems as the others.  Just an idea...

Same with Advance Wars Dual Strike and Yoshi: Touch & Go. All of us would like these games. I'm sure there are plenty more who would be interested in these games. The DS userbase has exploded so much since they were released. I'm sure there is still a market for them.

I got about 10 copies of WW:T sitting on my shelf at Wal*Mart at full price - how many do you want to buy?  Also, I still have some Y:TaG, they're down at $20... how many ya want?

Pfft, buying on launch day is for lamers, buying three months BEFORE launch is where it's at! Not really because it means you can't get any games in stores. Sawaru Made In Wario lasted me about two days. Haven't checked if anyone else in my town had one but I'm sure as hell not going from door to door asking them, I'd just say there's a very good chance I did. First in my state or country may be stretching it a bit tho.

[KDR_11k]

Whoa, a 360 game in the charts!

[Artimus]

Wii Sports and WiiPlay have like an 85% attach rate or higher, lol. Zelda has about 66% (still amazing). It'll be interesting to see how long Zelda takes to reach a million.

[couchmonkey]

So, Xbox 360s last hope.  Any idea how much hardware sold in general? At first I thought it was 80,000, which would be amazing, but then I noticed that's how many copies of Blue Dragon sold. For Microsoft's sake, I hope it sold at least as much as PS3.

[Amodaus1]

80k in one week is beastly for the 360. thats what, 10% of the original Xbox's total in japan?

expect 360 to hit around 27-37k in hardware sales (my guess) and PS3 to hold onto its second place status for now.
Noone should be too shocked by the 17th place Zelda TP since I posted the famitsu earlier this morning.
It aslo good to see NSMB, AC, MBA still holding on w/ more than 35k+ sale a week.  

edit: added in hardware #'s   & new software, mostly translated by cvxfreak of NeoGaf  

[Ceric]

1,2, and 4 aren't Nintendo's this week.  The System is DOOOOOOMEEEDDDDDD

[couchmonkey]

14. 1000 DS Receipes - Nintendo can even sell more cookbooks than most third party games. This is the dawning of a new era, a new type of casual gamer.  If you don't believe me, compare what's happening with DS in Europe and North America right now to what happened in Japan last Christmas.

[31 Flavas]

are there even any PS3 titles in that top 30, or the top 50 for that matter?

[BlackNMild2k1]

^^^^^^ hardware updated.

[Hocotate]

The longer PS3 software fails this horribly to sell, the more third parties will look to Nintendo in Japan. I know there are quite a few places missing in that top 100 list, but from what is shown, there are no PS3 games (from what I can tell).

[KDR_11k]

I think he cut anything that wasn't relevant to Nintendo.

[Hocotate]

ah, then that explains it :p

[couchmonkey]

I heard there were no PS3 games in the top 30, but don't quote me on that.

[KDR_11k]

Well, the first thirty spots are listed and unless that "brighter than the dawning blue" thing is for the PS3...

[BlackNMild2k1]

I only posted what they translated, as I can't read Japanese myself.
If they translate more of the Top 100 I'll post the rest of it, sorry.

But no PS3 games were in the Top 30.

[Ceric]

Putting it in prospective.  Are there enough PS3's out there for Sony to have enough people to buy a game to put it in the top 30 without a 1:1 tie-in-ratio?

[31 Flavas]

PSP: 29,000. This time last year it was at least doing 75k-100k.

Geez... what are they going to say in their 2007 keynotes/media briefing on behalf of PSP? (or whatever event will take the place of E3...)
