Is that the sequel or something?

 

[Square2005]

WTF

where is my top 10 DS?????

Go Kirby!!!

and General knowledge is another million seller

Next week!!
With 30k PS3s being shipped next week we should finally see teh dual screen domination.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I imagine Sony getting two PS3 games in the top 10 would be good PR for them.

 

[Xeke]

1. (DS) General Knowledge Training - Nintendo - 102,240 - 451,106
2. (DS) Pokemon Diamond - Pokemon - 78,744 - 1,682,896

9. (PS3) Ridge Racer 7 - Bandai Namco - 21,655 - NEW
10. (PS3) Gundam: sales Target not in Sight - Bandai Namco - 21,310 - NEW

You're all failing to see the trend here.

9/10 last week.
8/10 this week.

It's fairly obvious that DS games are falling out of favor with the Japanese public. I expect to see a rise in PSP units sold the following week because of the PS3 release and the connectivity features with the PSP that it provides. I'd say it's about time to forget about any Nintendo dominance this winter, what with the PSP being able to be used as a rearview mirror and all.

 

[Nicktals]

Needs more rearview mirror.

 

[Taichu]

Two different kanji games outsold Ridge Racer and Genji... that is hilarious.

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Aww. GBA software is selling as much as a software on a dead handheld. That's adorable.

Fixed.

 

[Adam Blade]

Thanks
Is that the sequel or something?

Kinda...

 

[The_lascar]

The new Kanji Game is not by Rocket co. but by IE Institute.

 

[Xeke]

Fixed.

I see what you did there.

 

[Jonnyram]

The new Kanji Game is not by Rocket co. but by IE Institute.

So it is. Thanks

[Nutter]

Doesn't change the fact that PS3 games sold like shit, and the DS would still be King.

 

[Xeke]

brain brain Knowledge training ... i hate this chart :/ want real games

Yea I know really. It's a good thing the top 10 has two PS3 games or else it would be totally devoid of any real games.

 

[PocketMidget]

I will say WOW

 

[Jonnyram]

What will you say when Wii comes out?
"minigames minigames ... i hate this chart :/ want real games"?

He's hoping by then there will be a separate Non-Game chart, so that we can see how well the real games actually do and give them the chart position that they deserve.

Zelda zelda zeldaaaaaaaaa

I guarantee you that Wii Sports and Wario will outsell Zelda in Japan.

 

[Tadaima]

What the f5ck are you talking about, the PSP will do more than simulate a rearview mirror.

It can also be used as a controller. Personally, I've bought four of them to use as controllers for my new PS3.

I'm sure sales as an innovative and aesthetically pleasing controller will be represented in this week's hardware sales.

 

[StephaneC]

I guarantee you that Wii Sports and Wario will outsell Zelda in Japan.

and that sux (about wario) yes I hate minigames too :/

Why are you ignoring the fact that a couple people pointed out how ridiculous your statement was.

oh really ?

 

[Xeke]

Aye, at least until they find some way to patch the game as a non-game.

 

[castle007]

Aye, at least until they find some way to patch the game as a non-game.

Don't worry, Nintendo already has that covered.

Spoiler

The real fun in the game begins when Link has to fight Tingle's twilight realm form: Einstein!!!! Be prepared to witness jaw dropping equations, epic grammatical tasks, and the ultimate challenge to prove the existence of E=MC^4!!!!!!!!!!

 

[tanasten]

That DS thing... when is the easter ending?

See now, thats where the real money is at.

 

[donny2112]

That DS thing... when is the easter ending?

Easter ended in January when PSP led for the week of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

 

[Neko Tsukimi]

Wow, that there DS is something else... Ahhh, they should have slowed down a little bit so Sony could have a launch to be proud of.

 

[MrPonx]

Why is PS3 on the DS top ten?

:lol :lol

 

[apujanata]

Congratulation to Pokemon D&P in achieving the 3 million milestone in 7 weeks, which put them in par with Ruby & Saphire, which also achieve 3 million milestone in 7 weeks (since the last 2 weeks is combined, during Dec 02).

R&S get to 4 million in 12 weeks, and I expect that D&P will get there sooner, because their sales (hopefully) will be boosted by the holiday seasons

I'll love to know what's FF3 LTD in japan

Ani has no control over this. He is powerless to save you.

Just wait till it gets back into the top ten. (Heh)

Actually, i'm pretty sure it's around 830-850k. It'll need a big boost to make it a million by the end of the year.

 

[Lobster]

Sony and Microsoft should buy some Nintendo stock.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

You know, I actually expected DS software sales to slow down this week because of Playstation 3 fever. Nope.

Now let's see that hardware!
