I'm surprised anyone even noticed. I've been really busy lately.

I noticed, we always got the charts a day late when you were gone.

I missed you over in the Sony Getting Hit Hard Lately thread. Yep Pokemon is truly a monster.

DSL     274,389
PS2    31,992
PSP    25,319
Xbox360    2,195
GBASP    1,811
GBM    1,103
GC    523
DS    253
GBA    10
Xbox    3

Ummmmm? That's not impressive. I guess all the current DS owners bought Pokemon first?

Mario · « **Reply #2454 on:** October 05, 2006, 05:41:47 PM »

Wow, Pokemon is a MASSIVE BOMB! This is THE DS high point, it's only downhill from here. Seriously though, DS is still sold out everywhere according to reports.

IceCold · « **Reply #2455 on:** October 05, 2006, 07:06:59 PM »

Yeah, I think there still are shortages.. have been for quite a while now.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #2456 on:** October 05, 2006, 07:29:35 PM »

Why bother selling any other console in Japan?

blackfootsteps · « **Reply #2457 on:** October 05, 2006, 07:54:11 PM »

I think you guys are missing the big news of this week's hardware numbers: The 360 has skyrocketed past the SP and GBM. The console battle is definately heating up in the east.

I'm looking forward to pokemon and all, but those PS2 games sound pretty good too. Wonder what the odds are of Sangokushi 11 or the entire .hack//GU series making it stateside.

I think I detect /sarcasm...

It skyrockets to 2,000 units lol ; ; Being the only next gen console out too makes it look even worse...

Louieturkey · « **Reply #2461 on:** October 07, 2006, 05:30:08 PM »

.Hack//GU is already announced for the US. The first game is coming I think in November. Check Gamestop.com for the exact date.

jasonditz · « **Reply #2462 on:** October 08, 2006, 06:43:15 AM »

yeah, the first one is pretty soon, I'm just worried they'll drop PS2 support before they release the last one in the US.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #2463 on:** October 09, 2006, 08:02:30 AM »

I don't think so. They are also releasing the anime based on the games and they know they'll have quite a lot of backlash if they don't release everything. Plus it all still sells well. The Rebirth novels being released by Tokyopop are doing quite well. I would be very suprised it they aren't all released.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #2464 on:** October 09, 2006, 11:25:54 AM »

Also, don't forget that Sony is relying on the PS2 to keep money rolling in while it tries to get PS3 on its feet. I'm sure the game will come here.

Well, it was fun while it lasted, Pokemon is officially a FLOP and is now down to selling Pokemon Dash type numbers after only ONE WEEK. That was an incredibly short party, looks like it really is just a fad. I thought only FF dropped this big? Pokemon P/D is going to set records alright, to be the quickest game to travel down the chart. Sony capitalising on Nintendos mistakes too by releasing a pretty huge PSP hit, that's gotta hurt for Nintendo to have some random PSP game up there with Pokemon. Sony has all bases covered.

I wonder how low DS hardware sales are going to be now? Last week probably WAS the high point in its lifespan, Nintendo better get more shipments in or they'll be doomed to keep selling a pathetic 200k systems a week.

IceCold · « **Reply #2466 on:** October 11, 2006, 06:04:21 PM »

I'm assuming there's enough Pokemon copies, or is there a shortage of those too? And this is what happens to Square - FFIII will never reach its potential in terms of sales now..

Athrun Zala · « **Reply #2467 on:** October 11, 2006, 07:49:53 PM »

how many weeks has NSMB been on the Top10 now?

IceCold · « **Reply #2468 on:** October 11, 2006, 07:52:13 PM »

Louieturkey · « **Reply #2469 on:** October 12, 2006, 06:16:16 AM »

How many weeks has Brain Age 2 and Animal Crossing WW been on the chart now?

Mario · « **Reply #2470 on:** October 12, 2006, 06:35:35 AM »

Since they were released last November, in a few weeks it would have been one year.

Louieturkey · « **Reply #2471 on:** October 12, 2006, 10:45:45 AM »

They may just drop off right before that year at this point.

Artimus · « **Reply #2472 on:** October 12, 2006, 11:12:57 AM »

They should make it, as next week the non-DS games will likely fall below the 20,000 mark.

MaryJane · « **Reply #2473 on:** October 12, 2006, 11:21:56 AM »

i think the numbers of the pokemon game should be looked at as one, because if it was just one game, it would sell the same amount of copies, perhaps more because people wouldn't wait to see which one is potentially better.

2,055,008 copies is pretty good i think.

couchmonkey · « **Reply #2474 on:** October 12, 2006, 12:45:41 PM »

...but what about obsessives that buy both copies?

The sales are impressive regardless.
