ANd WOWEEE at those DS sales. PSP sales are great too considering there was nothing released. Seriously, what the hell are people buying it for? At least here in Amerikaa people are buying UMDS, but last I heard, they never took off in Japan. Les' I'm mistaken...

I wonder if Byte Hell 2000, Katamari, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner, and Nobunaga no Yabou will help. My guess is that they will all sadly fail thanks to the KHII hype this week. Nintendo was smart not to release any game against it or I think we might've seen Mario & Luigi 2 as well as Brain Training 2 a week eariler.

Do the Japanese like the console with the worst graphics?
Graphics
PS2 < GC/Xbox
Graphics
GBA/DS < PSP
So by this logic. The Revolution wins.
Rev < PS3/360

Kingdom Heart 2 should have monster sales too. It's looking like a big season for Japan.
Too bad Nintendo didn't get something more compelling out for the GC this year... like Zelda or Kirby.
360 sales are just terrible. Looks like GC will be outselling it for awhile after all.
FFIV failed to really push the micro up there, but it looks like it sold a few SPs. Nintendo needs to get the backlit SPs out in Japan to revitalize those as well.

Didn't KH1 sell more than 700K in Japan? I don't know how accurate their numbers are, but Magic box has KH1 reaching 820K sold without Final Mix at the end of the 2002 fiscal year.
With all the hype it's getting over there, I'd be quite surprised if KH2 doesn't break 1 million after it's first few weeks. I feel like I've basically seen the entire game from the 245314 scans Famitsu has run in it's mag this last year.

Nice chart, it lacks a certain charm the old one had, but has more information.
You need to add: Easter and XX weeks of DS outselling PSP

Holy motherfucking shit. What the fucking hell. Really. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL. Nothing from this gen has done like the DS. Not the GBA. Not the PS2.
PSP is doing well enough, though it's still selling gangbusters in America and Europe (in our store we moved about 16 or so in the last few weeks- crazy! We've sold about 13 DSes in comparison, but a helluva lot more software for the thing than PSP).
Xbox 360: Well, it was a valiant effort. You know things have gone wrong when the GAMECUBE (which was at 1.5k-2k a week for the year) is outselling it.
With all these excitement about the DS sales (what possibly is the largest week - aside from a launch week - for any console this gen, or in history - yet to be confirmed), I got to remind everyone one thing (which you probably already know).
DS will very highly likely sell even more next week, almost guaranteed!
Just that sheer thought makes me chill... Kudos to Nintendo for keeping up such high demand. No news at all of any shortages.
My predictions - 600K

Did the Playstation (the first Playstation) ever sell over 500k in a week post launch?
Probably the week FFVII came out, I would think ...
I would ask about the Super Famicom but I doubt numbers are availible for that far back.

I wish DS sales would spike like that in the US. Maybe it'd get the western devs a bit more excited, and they'd start taking advantage of its features.

I think you'll see a large spike in DS hardware sales when it comes down to $99.
People just go crazy over the $99 in North America.
Then it'll probably just replace the GBA here, like the DS has in Japan.
So basically if the GBA is selling 800k+ and DS is selling 350k+ in North America ... that'll probably be more like DS 900k+ by next November, with GBA being phased out.

The thing about Western support for the DS is I think NOA really has no power anymore.
There's no Howard Lincoln or Minoru Arakawa at NOA anymore, and Reggie's just a PR guy.
They should have cut deals for content like Starcraft DS a long time ago.
DS will eventually just inherit the younger-skewing GBA audience in North America, which is probably just fine by NCL.

If Culex is shipping out to a warzone the least GAF could do it maintain the integrity and look of his Chart until his safe return.
someone good at photoshop should try to take it on

I'm gonna guess 650k copies for Kingdom Hearts II and 500k hardware units for the DS.
It's going to be a biiiiig week for the Japanese game industry.

What exactly has this guy done?
NOA's been on snooze mode for a while now.
In the mid-90s NOA probably peaked in terms of power because Rare (which Howard Lincoln discovered) was doing so well, so they went ahead with Retro Studios and all those other 2nd party partnerships.
All of those 2nd party deals have pretty much since been nullified. What Retro is now is not exactly what they were supposed to be as originally envisoned by Lincoln either.
When Rare's games stopped selling and the whole Retro situation became a debacle circa 2000 or so ... that was probably when NCL decided to stop listening to NOA, lol. Silicon Knights' projects bombing probably didn't help either.
