It's too bad we probably won't get an update on the first Taiko for DS for a while, I'm guessing all three releases (DS and Wii) are pretty much neck-and-neck.

Pretty much. The last time we have a number for all of them is the end of 2008, when it was

Taiko DS1: 525K
Taiko DS2: 444K
Taiko Wii: 251K

However, based on the sales in the preceding months it seems like Taiko DS2 was selling nearly twice as many per week. If Taiko DS1 has continued doing about half of Taiko DS2, it should still have a slight lead. Buuut since it's been out of sight for nearing half a year, that's hard to say.

Kinda looks like they're planning some sort of gathering at 600K in July or August?

EDIT: Among known sales the #2 Taiko game hit 579K after 14 months. Taiko DS1 may be past that now, but whenever that 600K meetup I mentioned above happens, the DS/Wii games will be 3 of the top 4. #1 is still the original PS2 version, at 743K.

YOU'RE MAH BOY VINNK!

Congrats.

And damn is the Japanese market on life support or what?!

 

[Dash Kappei]

Wow, super low sales this week all-around, what gives?

Also, go Inazuma Eleven go!
It might achieve a lifetime LTD of near 400k, pretty darn impressive after not that big of a start, awesome legs.

What are the chances of a EU/NA release now?
Level 5 games have always made it out here, am I right?

It bodes well for the sequel

So what would happen if you were spotted and caught outside? Would you be in trouble with the cops or would they just give you a stink eye?

The cops would probably just tell me to go back inside but there would be no consequences. I would be far more worried that a gossipy old woman saw me. Its a small town and not much to talk about. When I put my recycleables out on the wrong day it was a good discussion topic for days.



And yuck at those sales. I wonder if by the time my boy is old enough to play games there will still be a Japanese console market...

There'll still be handhelds. Don't worry so much.

 

[Vinnk]

Not really actually worried. And hell I don't want my kid to spend as much time as me playing videogames anyway. :lol

Start him with the classics. Get him a Famicom, and some Super Mario games.

Of course. I am gonna raise this kid right. No petz games for my boy.

Ugh. I have a feeling that if I was your neighbor I'd quickly gain the title of "that American punk kid".

Of course. I am gonna raise this kid right. No petz games for my boy.

Why not show him some sports as well? You don't want your kid turning into a couch potato do you?

 

[BishopLamont]

Of course. I am gonna raise this kid right. No stupid shooting games for my boy.

fixed!

Oh and congrats.

thats sad indeed

 

[Dascu]

Nintendo's policy of not promoting their games until a month before release is really hurting the sales.

So very true.

 

[Minsc]

Nintendo's policy of not promoting their games until a month before release is really hurting the sales.

True, but Sony & MS's policies aren't doing the job any better.

Demon's Souls at #44, still hanging on. Awesome.

 

[Rock_Man]

Dengeki reports this is the first week since June 2005 that software sales fall below 600k.
DQ IX can't come soon enough. It won't make up for the difference between software sales in 2008 and 2009 but it will make things look much better.

 

[test_account]

It was the "honor system". Yeah I could have just walked out. But since my town has only 6 white guys and all the my students live around the area I do, I would have been instantly spotted. Then if anyone got the flu, for any reason there would be a lot of finger pointing.

But it was ok. While I was in America I bought a PS3 and Valkyria Chronicles.



We found out the baby is going to be a boy, which is good since we had already bought this shirt (not that we wouldn't have giving it to a female child anyway):
