Don't you get it? Third parties are the life blood that drives game sales. Nintendo's first party sales are good...for Nintendo. Without third party sales, support will falter on the DS and third parties will choose the PSP, where third parties sell much better. With all the third parties supporting the PSP, it is only a manner of time until Sony overtakes Nintendo in the global market. :D

Ok, and I thought the 200K from last week was a mindblowing number.

Don't know what to say with this one.

Oh, and I saw DS lights on store shelves today. Please tell me why they have to wait
11 FUCKING DAYS to sell them?

None of the others have, so I'd doubt it.

Sunshine sold that badly? I thought it would have hit 1 million at least...

I'm pretty sure SSBM remains the only GCN game to top a million in Japan. A million would be like 25% userbase penetration.

Yep. 220K for the GBA launch in Japan in 2001, and it's total to date.

I think Nintendo needs to make a New Super Mario USA ASAP.

If Nintendo can someone position and advertise the Wii as a larger version of the DS in Japan, there will be no stopping it.

And how much did PSP sell this week, for comparison?

A little less than 10%. GC is at about 4 million in Japan.

What was the Gamecubes largest week ever in Japan, and for that fct, what are every systems largest week ever in Japan compared to the DS's largest ever week?

But, just considering this, has another console,portable or otherwise ever hit 302,000 this far after launch, and in the middle of summer?

So awesome. I remember that's what some were thinking Super Mario Advance was initially, since there were screen shots of areas that didn't quite match the original. Then again people thought Super Princess Peach might be like a successor, but that didn't exactly pan out either. For a game that donated so much to the Mario universe, its actual gameplay didn't get followed up on much.

The GC's largest week was the week of 29 Dec - 4 Jan 2004, when it sold 164,500 systems in a week.

PS2's is probably that same week, at 244,000. GBA at 275K the same week as well.

EDIT: Nevermind. PS2's biggest week was apparently 12/31 - 1/06 2002, with 314,724 systems sold. GBA the week of 16 - 22 Dec 2002 with 303,834.

Better make a New Super Mario Bros. 2 with the difficulty of the original Super Mario Bros. 2 :).

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Your telling me that the DS's 302,000 units this week in the middle of the summer 20months after the little bastard launched is bigger then any week the PS2 has ever had?

Your joking, right?

And it would only be the 6th or 7th (depending if it's lower than 300K) best week the DS has ever had.

Place your bets. Does NSMB's crazy sales indicate it's going to go on to become the best-selling Mario game ever (a la Pokemon), or did the pre-arrival hype just concentrate all its sales into week 1 (a la Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest)?

In other words, will its sales chart someday look like this:

Or like this:

I don't get it, if tons of people here think NSMB has legs, then wouldn't it be no. 1?

I think cvxfreak was excluding launch weeks. Still the point remains that DS in May is doing better than most systems in December.
