that would actually be a mean of 110,433.
will be interesting to see how this data changes once we get famitsu numbers including dec 2006. I suspect Nintendo will get an even larger portion of the pie

:lol Same.
Some mighty impressive numbers there, although I'll never forgive the Japanese for giving Ouendan the cold shoulder.

uhm... i'm not so sure about it, besides Love & Berry there are 2 other 3rd party games which will sell a lot, DQM:J and Fushigi no Dungeon.
The only Nintendo title which is selling high at the moment is Common Sense Training (except Pokemon of course!), but probably both Mario and AC will have a jump due to holiday season.

From last week's Media Create top 20:
Nintendo, even before the boom in sales we'll see over the next 3 weeks, are already selling a shitload of DS software (probably ~400k this week). The Famitsu data also doesn't include the last 4 weeks of Pokemon, Common Knowledge Training, NSMB, ACWW and BT2 sales.
As long as Nintendo's software sales continue to account for 80% of more of the DS' total software sales each week, then it looks likely that Nintendo will account for an even larger piece of the pie by end 2006.

45,239 is correct

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...

Thanks for the numbers, but one thing people aren't mentioning is that Nintendo publishes a crapload of games. A much bigger percentage. So while Nintendo is getting a large share of the sales, they're also publishing a giant portion of the games, too.

At least Final Fantasy 3 is #14 on the list. I like the Pacman pie chart :lol. I'm shocked that Square-Enix is behind Bandai.

I'm so sorry. GAF convinced me to buy Ouendan. At least I convinced one of my friends its worth buying.

I usually take data from Famitsu every week, so the chart should me more accurate and also last update was a week ago, but mainly last big update was the first half 2006 chart posted in early July. I think it will get new update in February when Famitsu will release top100 for 2006.
Anyway, LTD are higher than the chart coming from Dengeki (i think it's LTD from 2005)
I'm sorry if this can be interpreted as spam, but i didn't get anything from these pages, i make them just for the love of sales data and usually i don't make links, if someone is interested just bookmark it
Really nice chart. How long have you been collecting those data ? I see that you even have 1996 data.
If only you also have H/W data, then it will be perfect
.If I may make a suggestion to you, you might think about adding a column, stating when was the last data (total sales LTD) was last updated. The position of the column is in the right most. It is not really important, but it might give people some sense in how many months has elapsed between the release date and the latest data update.
Fuzzy said:Did you really believe Reggie's comment about 120K sold in the US so far for EBA? :lol
How much has it sold in the U.S.? 120K was a lie?
I just beat Jumping Jack Flash on Sweatin' mode and damn, this is one of my favorite games ever. So good. I can't believe how poorly it did in Japan.
ethelred said:
Which is even more frustrating, because that means that there are only 120K copies out there for people to buy in the first place. Reggie said he was hoping for 300K, and that would've made it much more likely to be available to anyone who wants it
I'm looking at everyone there, whether you know it or not

jarrod said:
So why does (Nintendo) follow the Pokemon name in this data? What's the deal with TPC if they aren't part of Nintendo?
They're majority owned by Nintendo... again similar to Konami and Hudson.MrSardonic said:
TPC is it's own entitiy though, they handle mainly Pokemon merchandising and licensing, but they're still the official game publisher too (in Japan at least). Pokemon Mini was lso technically their system and not Nintendo's. They're not exactly a 3rd party... but they're not technically Nintendo either.
jarrod's right. however, where is becomes really complicated is nintendo wholly owns the pokémon brand.MrSardonic said:
the pokémon company was set up by nintendo to handle all things pokémon, for ease, tax advantages, and to give people like satoshi tajiri, junichi masuda, tsunekazu ishihara and the other people involved in the original game a financial stake in the pokémon franchise.
imo, to all intents and purposes, the pokémon company is part of nintendo.

Wikipedia lists TPC as under "Nintendo divisions and subsidiaries" while also calling it an affiliate of Nintendo.
I understand that they are a separate company but did Nintendo set up TPC in 1995 simply to deal with the development, mechandise, marketing, etc of all Pokemon-related products? Or did Nintendo simply buy into a pre-existing company?
edit:
right, thanks. Given those fact, I'll keep it as part of the Nintendo data I think

In fairness, then you should probably lump Hudson in with Konami, considering the have basically the exact same distribution/ownership setup. Also, Atlus/Takara/Tomy are basically one company now (with 2 brands, "Atlus" and "Takara Tomy"). Dunno if that shifts anything or not though?MrSardonic said:

arrghggh!
ok, once we get the full 2006 data, I'll combine Hudson with Konami.
jarrod said:Uh... sort of. Except that TPC doesn't make games.
Konami owns part of Hudson. Konami makes games. Hudson makes games.
Sony owns part of Square-Enix. Sony makes games. Square-Enix makes games.
Nintendo owns part of TPC. Nintendo makes games. TPC doesn't make video games.
For the record, I think it should be broken down by Publisher which means TPC should be separate from Nintendo.
Well, the differences there is that Nintendo and Konami own majority/controlling stakes why Sony has basically no say with Squeenix. Clearly going by that certain other thread. :loldonny2112 said:Konami owns part of Hudson. Konami makes games. Hudson makes games.

Nintendo and Konami are also acting as distributors for TPC and Hudson respectively... which makes it a little different versus other comparable invested relationships (like Square Enix and Taito for example).
