DS has to be strong in Germany because Iwata recently mentioned that it had 18 of the German top 20 game list.

They're even releasing Anno and Settlers for the DS here (neither is out yet).

You sure about that?

Strikes me as improbable that HM takes first spot on the DS or overall sales.

Who's to say it wasn't just released there?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #3007 on:** May 08, 2007, 08:23:51 PM »

Oh it was, it just doesn't strike me as a game that'd take #1. Stores aren't stocking more than a handfull of copies AFAIK.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #3008 on:** May 09, 2007, 06:03:58 AM »

Well, maybe all the copies were bought up and it was a light sales week for other games.

Things are NOT looking good for PS3 in the [strike]home[/strike]Nintendoland.
Maybe those rumors of a price drop near the end of summer will come true.

Hopefully for Sony's sake a certain Japanese developer is wrong, and the price is the issue and not the fact that the PS3 is ginormous in comparison to the Wii (he also said the price and size of the 360 wasn't the problem, but the size of the power brick is). Apparently Japanese people are very space constrained and don't have alot of room for oversized electronics.

So how come you're only posting the sales stuff nowdays BnM? I haven't seen you anywhere else in the forums..

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #3012 on:** May 16, 2007, 08:17:10 AM »

Haven't really been online lately, my computer is still broken and I'm waiting on the motherboard replacement, so I'm using a shared computer right now which limits my time online. I've also been trying to catch up on all the TV shows my DVR is recording so that I can delete them off my box (I got really backlogged on 24 due to watching Heroes first instead). I also just moved and and am now looking to buy a house soon, so I've been really busy and haven't been able to catch up on all the threads going on here (WTH is going on in the Funhouse?). I should be around more soon, when the dust begins to settle around here

Is it just me, or do Pokemon games have a legacy of emerging during the most inopportune times of the year? Do you think it'd make a difference sales-wise if Pokemon were to ever be released around October or November?

I think it's just Ninty realizing that Pokemon will sell no matter WHEN it's sold...

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #3018 on:** May 23, 2007, 07:40:26 AM »

Yep. Pokemon is gonna sell no matter what. (well maybe not if it's some weird spin-off.)

Bad News:
Quendan 2 is not listed this week

- could be due to no restock though, it did sell 90% of its shipment last week
NBA Homecourt (PS3) sold about the same a Madden did in Japan (<500 copies, ~350 maybe?)
And it seems to be relatively slow week for software too.

Good News:
PS3 has seen an increase in sales from last week, but has just missed the 10k mark.

It is amazing that New Super Mario Bros. still manages to occasionally break into the top 10 after all this time....

NSMB has now been on the charts for 1 full year, some sort of congratulatory party should be in the works.

Ceric · « **Reply #3022 on:** May 31, 2007, 08:59:49 AM »

If memory serves it has now sold enough copies that conceivably 1 in every 4 DS owners could have a copy. Which makes me sad in a way because I thought the game was a step back.

Kairon · « **Reply #3023 on:** May 31, 2007, 12:50:54 PM »

NSMB is a hardcore game. Wii Sports is the game that's a step back.

Ceric · « **Reply #3024 on:** May 31, 2007, 02:28:53 PM »

In comparison to all pre-3D Marios.
