Media Create Dec 12 - 18

People do realise as well that Nintendogs as 29 and 30 on the Media Create chart probably means that those two versions alone did about 15k each, so it's another 40k+ for Nintendogs as well this week.

And it's also been said a few times that if you combine both versions of Pokemon then you have roughly been doing about the same numbers as Animal Crossing last few weeks... and 700k+ for each version isn't out of the question.

What's the next big game for the DS after Mario Kart?

Brain Training 2 and Mario & Luigi 2 x 2

Should be big enough to sell extra DSes but I don't think the latter will be all that big myself.
 
Since every possible DS hooray comment is already posted...

Tales of the Abyss did AMAZING.

2nd best start for the series this generation (only behind the best seller title in the series, Destiny 2, which did 446k in the same period).
It already surpassed TOTALS of Symphonia GC, Symphona PS2 and Legendia PS2....and it surpassed Rebirth PS2 4 days sales by a good amount (335k vs 405k).

I guess 'tales of' is going to be sony exclusive again (in domestic consoles I mean), it does quite better this way.

PD: It won't meet Namco expectations anyway :lol
 
It did do a bit better than expected actually (Legendia's poor performance suggested it may not do as well) however exepect a montrous drop off next week ~50k mark

9,682,000 as of December 4 (dengeki) so around 11 million now.

Easily, would have done a million this week alone.

This is the thing, people say that MK and AC are driving sales which of course they are, but not alone. Tamogotchi, Brain Trainings, Dogs, a number of solid 3rd party titles are all doing very well...

huh? Tamagotchi only :/

Slimes and DBZ slow start, Mushiking so-so...are there more? o.O

Well, Slime, DBZ and Mushi King did another ~30k each should stay flat or increase over next few weeks, 90k for Tamogotchi.

I'd say that's pretty solid and other titles lingering lower down the charts.

It is first party software thats ruling though, this week alone on DS:

AC 180k
MK 145k
Poke 80k
BT 60k
GBT 50k
Dogs 45k
Dare 35k
Torouze 15k
Sawaru 10k

=620k plus ~180k third party so 800k plus others outside top 30-40 so 1m this week would be about right.
 
Holy shit, it's almost twice as much as everything else combined.

Only 47 times the 360 amount though. Nintendo were aiming for 50, fission mailed.
 
Holy shit, that's CRAZY! All other plattform are so ... low if you see these DS numbers :D

Btw. these are the Media Create numbers, aren't they?
 
Updating the DS record attempt:

Code:
Week	PS2 2001			GBA 2001			GBA 2002			DS 2005	
1	 108 	 108 		 44 	 44 		 120 	 120 		 177 	 177 
2	 103 	 211 		 39 	 83 		 135 	 255 		 299 	 476 
3	 184 	 395 		 121 	 204 		 197 	 452 		 409 	 885 
4	 222 	 617 		 265 	 469 		 304 	 756 			
5	 249 	 866 		 216 	 685 		 263 	 1,019 			
6	 315 	 1,181 		 286 	 971 		 317 	 1,336 			
7	 114 	 1,295 		 88 	 1,059 		 85 	 1,421

And I do think that 409k is the largest non-launch week ever for any console in Japan, and it'll be dwarfed next week...
 
Oh wow, that's domination by the DS. The very definition of domination. As a matter of fact, when they print the new dictionary, they should put up this chart under the definition of domination.

I.did.not.see.this.coming.last.year.or.earlier.this.year.
 
Just btw.: the DS/PSP LTD marketshare is 65.89%/34.11% (up from 64.74%) and the last week it was higher than that for DS was the week ending with February the 27th (with 66.68%).
 
I wonder if the DS is going to start having supply issues, especially when you consider that next week will likely see demand for even more units.
 
The only thing counteracting the DS sales for Nintendo are the dismal sales of the Micro. Frickin lower the price already, Nintendo!!!
 
I can't access to Media Create site at this point.
So I can't confrim if these figures are true or not.
It true, its quite shocking in many ways.

DS 408,770
PSP 95,689
PS2 55,342
GBASP 19,098
GC 17,849
GBM 14,432
Xbox360 8,623
GBA 416
Xbox 182

I doubt Nintendo care. It's the third installment of a system with a large userbase that they don't desperately need to increase it, and I'm sure they're making profit on simply selling the hardware alone.

They might reduce it, but not until they can still make a decent profit. Unlike a new system or one still building its userbase, Nintendo really don't need it to sell. Not to the point where they'll take a loss anyway.

Wow, the PSP didn't break 100k. The Xbox 1 is selling as well as usual. Poor 360 sales though:( They should have Geo War kiosks. I don't even want to talk about how crazy the DS is selling. How much are we expecting for next week?

600k

It's practically doing double what the GBA was doing back in 2002 (and that was with Pokemon)
 
My goodness. This chart is totall DS. I mean, is anything else even remotely appealing to the Japanese right now? DS is on a rampage over there, with no signs of slowing down. The handheld war is just about over in Japan. PEACE.
