Will a full review of it suffice?
And I don't think its sales are terrible. 31,000 in its first day isn't awful...Trust me, if it hits a lifetime of 200,000 then Konami should be happy. It's good, but not 'million-seller' good...Mr. Pointy

Konami will make their money back and then some. It'll probably outsell the PSP versions if nothing else.

He recently collected a butload of sales info from all those Weekly Famitsoos he bought so I hope he makes a comeback and shares some more of it.
He's probably so bizzy trying to translate all those issues...
I think he said he had over 300 issues!!!
By NPD reckoning (October being a 4-week month), this is the lowest month for the DS since the DS Lite launched. Interestingly enough, it is also the highest month of sales for the DS excluding other DS Lite months and Decembers.
Since the DS is still sold out in Japan, I can only assume (and hope) that this means Nintendo is stockpiling for New Year's.
This is the second-lowest month ever (by NPD reckoning) for the PSP in Japan.
1. Jul-05 80,489
2. Oct-06 88,832
3. Aug-05 89,916
No other month is below 100K for the PSP.
It is also higher than every PSP month except Dec-05.

Go Kirby! Do better over the next few days!Kurosaki Ichigo said:More than 100k...the last GBA one started with 70k as someone said before, and in its first week it was at 175k. Also ended near 700k.
More accurate numbers btw...
First day sales
DS　Hoshi no Kirby: Sanjou! Dorocche Dan　- ８５０００　(２８％
DS　World Soccer Winning Eleven DS　- ２３.０００　(２９％
DS　World Soccer Winning Eleven DS Limited Edition　- ８０００　(６０％
That's a pretty big improvement over Touch! Kirby. I expect Kirby DS 2 to be like the GBA remake from 2002, selling over a long period of time even after the big holiday. I think it may sell a million as well.
Winning Eleven DS is a bit disappointing considering the big deal that was made of it with a bundle and all. Winning Eleven 9 on PSP sold 107K in its first week, so I doubt the DS game will top it. In fact it can't if the shipment number is accurate.

from gamefront:
Nintendo hat von dem Actionspiel Kirby Squeak Squad (jap. 'Hoshi no Kirby: Sanjou! Dorocche Dan') in der ersten Woche der Veröffentlichung ca. 150.000 Einheiten in Japan verkaufen können. Das geht aus Erhebungen von Enterbrain hervor. Das Spiel kam am 02.11.06 auf den Markt.

Pokémon Diamond & Pearl combined are still at the top. And during Christmas, they will without doubt reach the 4 millions mark.Rock_Man said:
Kirby has a nice start, but I think that it will not have good legs: only my impression, but I believe it.
And the rest, is classic: 8/10 games are on Nintendo DS, one PS2 and one PSP. Media Create's thread are getting really boring. In the first semester of 2005, things were much interesting: the PSP was head to head o the DS and it was amusing read the Ntards vs. Sonybots posts. :lol Now, the Nintendo DS is dominating Japan with a 80% market share since too much time. And the routine is installed since more then 1 year.
But now....I hope that with PS3 and Wii, things will become more interesting.

Tales of the Tempest clinging on for dear life!

glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore
It's curious. Everyone seems normal that the Brain series are still there, more than a year after. I do not remember any game that had this curve. This is new to the industry at least in Japan (I think the Sims and Star Craft did something near to this)

For definition, we call a thing abnormal, when it is outside the routine. The Brain Games are in the top 10 since so much time, that their performances are now considered Standard as well.

I'm not sure, but I think CC sold over 800,000 copies at this point in Japan.

Indeed, just comparing it to Ryu ga Gotoku re-release, it was 90k vs 30k , now its over ToT lol. Plus near 200k shipment, so 100k still unsold. ToD is going to smash it.Bo130 said:
WE DS very bad too, probably doesn't deserve more just like tales, still very low numbers and most likely it won't get a new installment next year (well, maybe if it does good in Europe it will).
Oh, forgot to say, Minna no Tennis 500k!
I hope Sony gets the message...

Kirby CC hasn't even broken the 300,000 mark in Japan. So Spirit Squad should do great ^_^
And as is the case with TotT and WE, DS underperforms on these 3rd party titles WAAYYY too much. Perhaps handheld market just isn't for these games... but the PSP version of WE performed much better.
D*** that ignorant DS fanbase. Buy the REAL games!

1st: It's Squeak Squad.
2nd: Stop using 300K as a benchmark for success.
3rd: TotT is a disgrace to the 'Tales of' name. It should NOT be selling, further Namco support be damned.

News flash to Japanese companies: even the mighty DS does not print "trade a turd in a box for money" coupons.

2. I'll stop using 300,000 when some **** titles (ANY kind. Not even BRAND NAMES besides Nintendos can get it!) can actually make it there with a freakin 11 million fanbase to work with.
3. It's an average title, and it has tales in it on the DS. It should not be doing only 100,000 despite it's butt-ugly graphic direction, and decent gameplay. Legendia was crap and you see it still sold well. There's not excuse except the fanbase is ignorant and aren't buying real games enough.
4. I see you ignored winning eleven's bombaciousness.
However, I will applaud the DS for selling the more obscure titles in a decent amount. Digimon Story, Harvest Moon, DBZ, but that's just a SMALL handful. Get those damn 3rd party titles to start selling Nintendo!

Maybe Nintendo should start creating polls for gamers at stores with questions like:
"Why did you decide to not purchase this game?"
a. Don't know enough about it
b. Don't have the money
c. Don't want it
d. Reviews say it's a bad game
e. Other ________
And then they forward it to respective companies. Maybe then Namco would stop screwing the DS over with crap like Tamagotchi, Pac Pix, Dig Dug and **** like that, and giving us quality titles like they do the PSP (Tekken, Ace Combat) which AREN'T selling well either btw

you know this should be done for all games. Granted it might be sckewed somewhat, but what a good way to actual get feedback from the owners of the respective system as to why they didn't buy it

How about you stop doing it when it becomes stupid, misleading, and HELLA ANNOYING to do it.
Do you even have any idea what the hell you are talking about? The game is so short that the sales went down the second day it was released because people were able to beat the game before that and provide terrible final impressions. It lacks very basic elements of the Tales system like being able to command your party to take actions. It's a piece of crap, and terrible word of mouth completely destroyed its sales.
Isn't WEDS supposed to be, like, unimaginably atrocious?
