Interesting, GTA PSP only #5. But better than Nintendogs?

I still don't know if I agree with that assessment. I think Nintendogs will do one better.

Shadow the Hedgehog? Huh?

I'm also kind of surprised to see Singstar 80's missing from that list. I think I'm the only person in the world that doesn't appeal to.


Also, a Crazy Frog game. Fuck.

I like the part where they left out Mario Kart DS.


Wasn't Mario Kart DD the best selling game in the 2003 holiday season? These guys are clueless.

Edit- Wait, is Mario Kart coming out for DS in Euorpe this year?

A little note about this:

It's a very deceptive issue, but the prediction is for the week preceding Christmas only. Not the best selling title of the year, but just what was the best selling title for that week.

Mario Kart DS is coming out 11/11 in Europe. I'm not really expecting it to do much. As with most of Nintendo's stuff in the UK it's all very front ended in sales.

That chart doesn't seem to clever to me either. Where's FIFA '06 and Pro Evolution Soccer 5?! King Kong will probably be there somewhere, but #1? Doubtful. And WTF is Buzz!

I think they're betting that King Kong the movie will be a big hit, and expect the game to ride it's coattails.

That list is depressing.

Buzz is a multi player quiz game where each contestant has their own buzzer. It does look kind of interesting for a family game.
