The only reason it sold that much is it was cel-shaded, but even that's a fad.

Japanese gamers are weird . . .

tired of Zelda games yet Pokemon can remain relatively unchanged for 10 years and it still sells like crazy.

Pokemon has a cartoon along with a merchandise-related shopping addiction that ties into the franchise.

Zelda is just a game nobody wants.

Yep, the movies are still one of the largest, domestic, box office draws in the country. In fact, the Mew and Lucario flick was the #1 domestic film in the country the year it was released.

How did the Animal Crossing movie do?

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

ahahahhahahaha Animal Crossers don't battle each other.

Yet Pokemon is still #1 game, beating out a FFVII game.

[Louieturkey]

It's only because of the PSP Lite.  Things will go back to normal next week...maybe.

[vudu]

It's because of Crisis Core, not PSP Slim.
