02. NDS Animal Forest 184,000 761,000
08. NDS Brain Training 57,000 911,000

I believe both Animal Crossing & Brain Training will break 1 million in the same week

 

[Red Blaster]

I don't get the Japanese. They get gold dropped in their laps (Ryu Ga Gotoku) yet they rush for fucking Tamagotchi. Fools.

They got so much gold, yet they ignore the best of it. Kinda like everyone else in the world. If only Americans would stop buying shit like 50 cent bulletproof and buy fucking Dragon Quest 8 already.

Looks like Sega's gonna get into even worse financial ruin then before. 4th party, anyone? :lol

I'm sure Ryu Ga Gotoku is as great a kids game as Tamagotchi.Megarollseyes.

You mean nex week?

Who gives a shit about the fucking kids. NOT I.

 

[BorkBork]

I don't get the Japanese. They get gold dropped in their laps (Ryu Ga Gotoku) yet they rush for fucking Tamagotchi. Fools.

I dont get the Americans. They get gold dropped in their laps (Dragon Quest VIII) yet they rush for fucking Star Wars. Fools.

 

[elostyle]

Obviously you do care that they buy kids games instead of 18+ titles.

 

[GDGF]

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that Nintendo fucking rules.

That is all.

 

[Doogdogg]

well what do you know.... Tales of the Abyss may actually meet Namco's expectations :lol

I expect huge drop in next week's charts.

What was their targetted this time? 800k? :lol

 

[Oblivion]

I dont get the Americans. They get gold dropped in their laps (Dragon Quest VIII) yet they rush for fucking Fitty Cent. Fools.

Fixed.

 

[BorkBork]

Thank you. That's a much better candidate

*cue owl pic*

DQ8 sold 99942k49 hojillion copies in Japan anyway, it doesn't need sales like Ryu Ga Gotoku.

And the American public is stupid in general.

You have to add a few zeros and other numbers.

 

[cvxfreak]

Thanks neo. biohazard 4 really plummeted.

 

[Tabris]

GBA Final Fantasy IV bombed pretty hard.

Wonder how KH2 will do.

 

[Oblivion]

So Ryu just barely missed the top 10. Still, that's what, less that 50k? They're only half way through to paying back the development costs.

 

[neo2046]

WAIT! where are EXIT & KARAKURI ??

PSP software is dead in Japan.

 

[Rlan]

Anyone here happen to be able to get the BOTTOM 10 or 20 selling DS games in Japan [or even America]? With Brain Training and Tamagotchi going so well, I'm sure there are some great games that are selling like shit [Pac 'N Roll, Viewtiful Joe]

 

[BorkBork]

GBA Final Fantasy IV bombed pretty hard.

Wonder how KH2 will do.

100k for a 10 plus year old game that's been ported before is a bomb? News to me.

KH2 will be a monster! Definitely more than Abyss.

 

[Monorojo]

So is the PSP above or below 100k?

Last time I checked, Viewtiful Joe's LTD sales were around the 9000 mark

 

[jj984jj]

Wait.... what? :lol

 

[Oblivion]

Cripes, in all the excitement with the DS I forgot how the PSP is doing. :lol

One game in the top 30? Damn. Then again, PSPs still keep selling fairly well, even though people don't seem to buy games or umd movies (unlike over here in America).

26 NDS Mushiking DS

Wha? When did this come out... and why is it at 26? Didn't the GBA version sell (a lot) of copies?

 

[Culex]

If the PSP doesn't crack 100k this week, there's something very wrong. Sony should be troubled, too, if that's the case.

There's simply no end to the software sales on the DS. Contrary to that "other" quote about FFIV, it sold well for an upgraded port of a port. Animal Crossing and Mario Kart are single-handedly carrying the DS hardware/software this month. I shudder at the real numbers tomorrow night.

Let's put it this way, if the DS sells 400k and the PSP manages 100k for the 12-18 Dec, the DS will only be 150k away from DOUBLE the PSP installed base! @_@

 

[Fuzzy]

So when are we getting hardware?

*reaches for gun*

GBA Final Fantasy IV bombed pretty hard.

Wasn't it also bundled with the Micro?

 

[littlewig]

Gamecube holiday sales in 2003

dec 15-21
GC 95,100

dec 22-28
GC 154,500

dec 29-jan 4
GC 164,500


If PSP's second holiday season can't outperform Gamecube's third holiday season in Japan, Sony is in trouble.

 

[Chibbi Brady]

You know I just can't see it doing that. The GC always had huge software sales around the holidays that helped push the hardware, the PSP just doesn't have that in Japan.

goddamn it when did you and your ugly avatar get back?

ruining GAF with that pic GTFO!

 

[Andy787]

I'm sure Ryu Ga Gotoku is as great a kids game as Tamagotchi.Megarollseyes.

Why the fuck do you people defend fucking Tomagotchi? Jesus, even if you had kids, and they liked it, do YOU like it?

Who gives a shit about the fucking kids. NOT I.

Seriously.

Man, where the FUCK is the Ryu Ga Gotoku love, you tasteless bastards!?

 

[littlewig]

It's not like people who are buying Tomagotchi would have bought Ryu Ga Gotoku instead, geez.

It's like complaining that no one went to see Wax because they all went to see Charlie's Chocolate Factory instead.

 

[Monk]

HOW DARE KIDS PLAY VIDEOGAMES, THEY ARE RUINING THE INDUSTRY!!11

Really why does it matter that a kids game sells well? Bitch about the other game not selling well, dont bring tamagothci into it. Same applies when bitching about non-games.

 

[mutsu]

Actually I won't be surprised if Tamagotchi is mostly played by teenage girls, maybe from age 12-17. You can't call these kids.

But yeah, hey these are totally different kind of games... so don't compare them...

 

[evilromero]

!slap Japan.

Worse than the UK in gaming tastes.

Spoiler

Not DS hate, shit game hate

Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and FFIV?

I'm sure little kids are wondering what the hell the fuss is about with GTA or something.

 

[monkeyrun]

DS has six of the top ten? Wow.

and since GBA games are DS compatible :lol yup .... OMGWTFBBQ

 

[Tiktaalik]

I think I normally would have criticized this top 10, except that all I've been playing for a week is Animal Crossing and that game is totally rad. It deserves to be selling as it is.

 

[heavenly]

I'm disappointed that Mario & Wario (Nintendo's sales pillars) permitted new franchises to outsell them. I mean, c'mon. Mario & Wario couldn't hit a mil, but the Brain Training games will easily. Nintendogs most likely will too? If the new Super Mario game doesn't sell 1mil, then it's time for Mario to pack up his bags.
