Guys, what happened to those charts that stated "x consecutive months of DS outselling PSP",etc. those were hilarious and would look even funnier now.

 

[BorkBork]

I'm afraid to see what DS sales will look like this December.

I'm afraid to see what DS sales will look like this December.

The GAF sales threads in the last week of 2005 were awesome because the DS sold like 600,000 in a week. Poor KHII didn't have a chance. :lol

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Go go Tamagotchi. What day did Mushiking 2 launch?

 

[cvxfreak]

Go go Tamagotchi. What day did Mushiking 2 launch?

Same day as Tamagotchi 2 - 27th.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

I don't understand the hate for tamagotchi. It's a pretty fun game, running a store is fun and the dialog's are funny. (i like it)

Spoiler

I REALLY LIKE THE GAME!

 

[MrPonx]

SWEET Chart!

Exactly what I said when I saw it...

SAAAWWWWHHEEEEET

I can't wait to see this chart again after Dec-06

Japan. He most likely used this to make that graph.

You have to bear in mind though that many PS/PS2 sellers are down at just over a million.

If you look at 2m+ sales then DS fares even better compared to PS / PS2:

SNES: 12
NES: 10
GB: 10
PS: 7
PS2: 4
DS: 4
GBA: 2
N64: 1

Plus some of those magicbox numbers are outdated now.

Can we have the full size of this one (without the ~~~~~ gap)? Hard to see how big it is in proportion to the others... and it looked really funny last time.

*sniffles for poor old Tekken: DR and Megaman ZX*

They deserve more.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

49.) DS Children of Mana Square Enix

Seems even this week Children of Mana is clinging on!

CoM has been selling around 4-5k/week for the past 2-3 months hasn't it?

 

[jesusraz]

Legs akimbo indeed!

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

First day sales soon please!

Gundam Generation Portable should do good for PSP. I hope 100k (LTD) at least...

And Goku Makaimura is really hard to predict for me...does anyone have first ones numbers?

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

I don't understand the hate for tamagotchi. It's a pretty fun game, running a store is fun and the dialog's are funny. (i like it)

Spoiler

I REALLY LIKE THE GAME!

The hate is by people who didn't play it...

 

[jesusraz]

First day sales soon please!

Don't know if any of this is spot on:

"SD Gundam G Generation (PSP) - initially thought to sell 40,000, but first day reservations exploded to three times that. Seems like 150,000 have been sold so far. PSP is still on sale at Amazon Japan.

Rhythm Tengoku (GBA) and Polar Demon Boundary (PSP) both sold about 30,000. Says something about Starfox Command being in the Metroid class? Maybe it means it'll sell about 40,000 in its first week?"

If someone can check through Sinobi to double-check please...

Seems strange thatGundam would sell that well as it's only on #3 place on the Amazon charts behind the DS Lite and Love&Berry (release date 11/22).

 

[jesusraz]

Maybe it means it can sell that by the end of the chart week...

 

[Kroole]

Maybe. I guess we'll know next week

 

[Bo130]

Nooo, go go go go, Rhythm Tengoku . Anything on the Atsumare (Baseball) yet?

 

[Kurosaki Ichigo]

jesusraz's right. sinobi says that gundam met expectations, it had 4 ten thousand preorders and first day sales exploded into 3 times that quantity. Its sold out at some shops so the number for the week report could be 150k.

Rhythm and Makaimura may reach 30k for the week (not first day) but digestibility was quite good and good reactions to the games. Seems they are going to have good word of mouth to push some more sales.

It says something about Metroid for Starfox and that it will depend on word of mouth...



Anyway, I want the numbers, its easier

 

[Mr. Pointy]

So, SD Gundam moves the PSP. This is... strangely funny and cool.

 

[jesusraz]

Rhythm and Makaimura may reach 30k for the week (not first day)...

Ouch Wish my (mis)translation was correct...

Anyway, I want the numbers, its easier

Too true!

It was long time on #1!

[Tabris]

Wasn't Mushi King supposed to sell like 500k some of you were predicting?

It could have sold that much (30k) on PSP

Oh, I'm back.

It's the week end the 7 may : you have 184 438 and it's 185 438.

 

[TheKingsCrown]

So wait, were hardware numbers confirmed by that image? Or is that one week ago?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

184.438

I've got an extra thousand on this week.

So wait, were hardware numbers confirmed by that image? Or is that one week ago?

That's the Famitsu image, which is always a week behind the Media Create data. A big reason we tend to focus on Media Create around here. The Media Create numbers became confirmed, but it was a smaller deal this week since we gained nothing new. Usually in the past month the unconfirmed numbers have been correct, but excluded the lower systems.

 

[Earthstrike]

So is the 180,000 a sellout again? or is nintendo shipping 250,000 a week and only going to be selling ~180,000 a week?

 

[Burnst]

Why isn't Opera listed?

 

[ethelred]

Why isn't Opera listed?

Because it's not a game.

 

[Burnst]

Because it's not a game.

And Shaberu! DS Oryouri Navi is?

 

[donny2112]

Why isn't Opera listed?

It is currently only sold through Nintendo's online store, and online orders aren't tracked. I believe NPD is the same way.

And Shaberu! DS Oryouri Navi is?

I believe it let's you play Game & Watch games while waiting for items to cook, so yes.

 

[Kroole]

It is currently only sold through Nintendo's online store, and online orders aren't tracked. I believe NPD is the same way.

It's also being sold on Amazon.

Unconfirmed numbers:

G-Generation Portable - 120k on the higher end (86% of shipment)
Fist of the North Star Pachislot SE - 60k (21% of shipment)
Tokimeki Memorial GS2 - 25k (53% of shipment)
Starfox Command - 20k (25% of shipment)

O_O @ Gundam if true.

PSP wins in the hearts of 15k true gamers

 

[Bo130]

Starfox Command - 20k (25% of shipment)
Rythem Tengoku - 13k (60% of shipment)

They only shipped 80k of SFC...? And about 22k for Rhythm Tengoku? WTF Nintendo :s

This is for day one, right?

EDIT: I wanna know about Atsumare

Thanks a lot

Looks like 4-5 new titles again in top10...Growlanser limited edition sure wasn't very limited :lol

Pachislot 60k...21%...makes it near 300k shipment? Wow

 

[duckroll]

Some clarification, yes these are basically early unconfirmed numbers from tracking so far. It usually gives an indication of the performance of the software but not the total numbers of the week. Tengoku is also a GBA game with minimal promotion, so I don't think it would be unreasonable for Nintendo to have shipped a lower initial shipment.
