They're all non-games. Are there still people who didn't get the memo? Every game that sells well on a nintendo console is a non-game.Haunted_One said:
It's not that hard to understand really....

So you're saying there are production problems on the dated and reliable hardware that the Wii is based on? There haven't been any news or hints of manufacturing problems at all.
:lol at everyone taking kisakiproject seriously. Keep the thread entertaining dude!

It is interesting that "core" games like Kirby, Megaman, those Dungeon games, Jump Superstars, etc. are tearing it up on the DS and Dragon Quest Monsters Joker is likely to have massive sales in a week or two.
The "non-game" thing I think for Nintendo was just a means to an end. It ignited the market, and now, lo and behold, the effects of that are trickling down to more traditional game genres.

While I agree wholeheartedly, the whole "non-game" tag reeks of a misnomer to me. Such is the way of the

Even if it's true (difficult to say), that wouldn't mean that you can have any number of console you want.BorkBork said:
Suppose a factory can produce 200k units a month, you won't build dozens of them for launch's sake. Maybe two, three, four, depending on the number of consoles you expect to sell each month after launch.
Knowing this, consoles available near launch only depends on how many months they had before launch to build an inventory. If simply one factory is late, you'll cut significantly your initial allocation.

All of which feeds into my disappointing supply issue comment. They screwed up somewhere along the line in delivering the system to meet the demand. Obviously, the demand is higher than they expected, but the supply situation still plays a big role.

Wild Arms sells well in Japan, though...doesn't it? =\
Although I admit, this has got to be the least hyped game of the series. (I still want impressions by Bebpo though

Outside of Wii sport and Love Berry most of the DS games were actual games. So Kirby is getting bigger in Japan??? NSMB has crazy legs. When is the revealing of NSMB2.
And non-games are getting old. Stop making them.

Yeah. it seems that the Wii has had a huge success in Europe. I have seen the TG, that traditionally doesn't speak about videogames. Well, today they said for the first time after the PS2 and PSP's launch that the Wii is the MUST-HAVE in Europe with the iPod Nano.

Do think DSL sales next week will be even more insane?

Absolutely. 600-700k are a certitude. But if Nintendo can supply more units, clearly even 750k are possible.

Speaking of DS/L and also seeing how NSMB is back in the charts, does anyone have the Mario Bros. chart that listed all the Mario Bros. games in order by who sold the most? (I was gonna wait till the new #'s were out, so if you have it but want to wait till you update it to post it, that is perfectly fine too )
)Nintendo has stopped shipping DSL to Europe and USA (or so it seems, there's none to be found in either). All stock is for japan, they're going to sell eleventeen zillions.Mithos Yggdrasill said:
Mark my words, I'd bet a week-long ban on it, but i'm going on holidays saturday so it wouldn't be fair to you.
Last year the regular DS sold above 600k (606,750 units in the 3rd week of december), and it had never reached the levels of craze the DSL generates.Bo130 said:
If they can ship a million, they'll sell a million, seriously.
(a million console sold in a single week, how amazing would that be?)

Nintendo won't be able to ship 700k DS' for a week in Japan this year IMO.
Europe is eating up 500k a week and demand is way up in North America this Christmas too.
Europe might actually be able to break the 600k/700k barrier itself. I don't think Nintendo can replenish it's stock to meet that type of global demand.

Here's a chart, not sure if it's the one you were looking for...BlackNMild2k1 said:Speaking of DS/L and also seeing how NSMB is back in the charts, does anyone have the Mario Bros. chart that listed all the Mario Bros. games in order by who sold the most?

This really comes from people (who think that they're gamers) that started with the Playstation and the start of the cinematic gaming cycle. We're reaching a new phase of gaming (more social and interface based) and since all these people know are the cinematic cycle, they think that the new games are not games.Flakster99 said:
This article delves deeply into the theory of cycles in videogames that are outside of the console cycles, and is very interesting, even with it's pro-wii bent.
