The funny thing is they are still trying to put the kiddy lable on Nintendo, nice try guys, but the DS is mostly owned by adults, i've never even seen a kid holding a DS

I wouldn't say "mostly owned by adults", I think there's a fair share of both young and old. I have seen many kids playing with a DS.

But there is no hiding the fact that there are many adults playing the DS, much more than any previous handhelds, so that's why it looks like the DS is mostly owned by adults.

 

[Kseutron]

when will the exact M-Create numbers appear ?

can't wait

 

[thestopsign]

"Good," of course, being a relative term and all, but here are some others.

Star Fox Adventures (Does Europe count as "Western"? I'd think so.)
Metroid Prime
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
Battalion Wars
1080: Avalanche
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (unless it being a remake discounts it)

Mostly Nintendo-published games developed by "Western" developers.

I was trying to stay away from Nintendo published games, and I forgot about Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes because Konami normally does Metal Gear game. I just forgot that Silicon Knights was doing it.

can't wait

In 3-5 hours or so.

Haha, beat Fuzzy to a reply. :lol j/k

 

[COCKLES]

Poor overspecced PSP.

Perhaps Nintendo might be on the right track with Revolution after all...

Incidently, weren't we not supposed to get numbers this week due to the holiday? Not that I'm complaining, just curious.

Maybe if you gave the right time frame.

Next week is the week when we won't get any numbers.

We will get numbers next in 2 weeks time, and those will cover a 2 week period.

Total UK sales up to Dec 17

DS 846,000
PSP 668,600

I got the figures from here.

He's reliable. Unfortunately since UK hardware sales aren't allowed to be officially published (as far as I know) anymore, we can only take his word for it. I'm sure Gaybrush can confirm.

 

[cvxfreak]

I love being ambiguous then.

 

[AniHawk]

PSP sales are pretty good. They kinda remind me of GC sales from 2002 though.

Wanna make out?

 

[jamesinclair]

No more xbox sales? I was sure it was going to top 200 this week. Ditto for GBA.

Its a sad day for sales tracking.

Just because it wasn't reported with the rounded off numbers doesn't mean it won't be on the MC site.

Woah, original GBA sales spike.

 

[SS4Gogita]

DS sold 240,000+ more than every other system combined. That's just insane.

 

[Dalthien]

The DS outsold the X360 105:1

Just - WOW!

 

[John Harker]

GC outselling GBASP? Never thought I'd see that again.

 

[Fuzzy]

GBM LTD is up to 403,854. It's closing the gap with the Xbox. :lol

 

[malek4980]

The DS outsold the Xbox 4238:1

Did you post Animal Crossing numbers from Dengeki?

 

[Culex]

Yet another crazy week for Nintendo!

Chart updated again, too. I've cleaned things up a bit and added a few more points of data.

More milestones ahoy!

The DS has now sold over 2 million more systems than the PSP since the release of Nintendogs. The DS total userbase now is TWICE that of the PSP, too! @_@

This will be my last update too, as I leave next Wednesday. Whoever wants the data, just PM me their email address.

EDIT: My figures were wrong, updated

Instead of saying "DS Launch" replace it with "The Big Bang".

Jesus, the DS is going to pass up the SP's LTD sales by the end of the year.

 

[AniHawk]

I wonder what MS's PR bullshit will look like when it comes to Japanese sales. I remember when the Xbox was tanking, they made it look like they had shipped 1.5 million to that region (but they were including Australia in there or something to make the numbers look better).

Xbox 360 is the fastest selling next-gen console ever!

Holy shit, the Xbox and Xbox 360 are the only 2 systems that actually sold less this week than last week. :lol

I don't feel like changing the chart again :lol

Was that the pastel blue DS?

 

[Fuzzy]

It was blue but I can't remember what shade.

 

[Tony HoTT]

xbox360 launch was such a fucking disaster. with luck it will pull itself out of this mess once some more japanese oriented titles release. ideally they would have waited to release the system with some stronger japanese oriented titles to ride on the interest that a system launch would have generated.

anyways 360 fails. fails hard. (in japan (-_^))

 

[koam]

93K Average DS sales per week is insane.

P.S can you make the chart bigger in height? It's hard to see the "low" sales.

 

[cvxfreak]

93K Average DS sales per week is insane.

Holy shit, I just noticed that. :lol

Watch next week's sales bring it over 100K. :lol

 

[Fuzzy]

Holy shit, I just noticed that. :lol

Watch next week's sales bring it over 100K. :lol

I just checked and if the DS does at least 443,229 in the next chart it will put the weekly average at 100K.

 

[MrSardonic]

What's going to happen to DS sales after the holiday season? Will be interesting to see if hardware continues to sell relatively well and steadily along the lines of the "non-game" software sales charts Iwata showed off to demonstrate the "legs" of games like Brain Training and Nintendogs.

 

[soundwave05]

Nintendo has English Training (a new Brain Training type series) coming out in Japan in late January/Feburary I believe.

 

[Version 3.0]

Xbox - 141

You know, the Xbox 360 hasn't negatively affected Xbox sales. Just saying. :lol

Plus Brain Training 2 was just released yesterday...er...the 29th in Japan.

"Xbox 360 quickly becomes the fastest selling new console of 2005!
Released in early December, Microsoft's Xbox 360 has soared past the competition including Nintendo's very successful Game Boy Advance. Japan has never seen a launch of a new console having this level of excitement and anticipation. The outlook of Japanese support has improved greatly over the generations as the Xbox 360 has sold more than 100 times the number of original Xbox consoles since the release of the powerful next-gen console.
