Wonder where the third parties are. They can't be happy with this. I mean, look at the top 9. All Nintendo.

Huh, quite a drop-off after Brain Age. I guess it's hard to get into that territory where you're awesome enough to sell 2.4+ million (halfway between Brain Age and MKDS) but not awesome enough to approach or hit the 3 million mark.

Wow. Ouendan at #90. I thought it was BOMBA, so I thought it wouldn't make the list.

Hmm. Almost 50k copies sold. I guess it is BOMBA :/ At least it beat RE DS :lol

Rockman, please remove the "ten-thousand" character from the list. And change the format to make it easier to read, please (something like 3,999,999).

I've seen so many derivatives of that image, just wondering what it's origin is. Otherwise, yeah, Nintendo makes a lot of games with a generally high account of quality; quite astonishing actually.

Nice data :)

So bad sales for ToT but still deserved :/ I wonder what does Namco think about it...

(could we get a PSP top100 too? I'd love a PS2 one though)

Just want to mention those GBA software sales were for its first 4.5 years (2001 through late 2005) while this list shows DS software sales for its first two years of its life (2004 through 2006).
And even whithout considering the above fact, looking at top 20 games in both charts shows DS software sales are better than PSP software sales were back in the day.

Pie Chart representation of sales & percentage of total sales for each company.

dstop100um1.jpg



Nintendo took an absolutely massive proportion of all DS software sales, largely dominating the top 50. It's obvious that Nintendo are themselves responsible for the massive surge in software and hardware sales for DSL and that 3rd parties, although not doing badly, have not worked out how to consistently produce software that appeals to the new demographic.

If someone could provide the PSP top 100 I could do the same statistics for those and provide a comparison with the DS top 100.

so basically nintendo really HAS tapped a new video gaming demographic, and 3rd parties are still trying to sort out how to make games that appeal to it... am I wrong?

and on a related note, is there any question now of Iwata's brilliance in turning the company around and making them relevant again? Whether you like the direction or not, taking a company that many really did believe would not be around by this gen and making them widely recognized and respected in the mainstream is pretty amazing.

Well, the DS has sold almost exactly six times as much software as the PSP in Japan.

And unless Bandai Namco have sold more the 50% of PSP games total (for Japan), then they have sold more DS games then PSP games.

Now if these 3rd parties would finally start making GOOD mass market games for Japan's most dominant platform in history (Capcom, Namco, Konami - I'm looking at you), then they may actually make some money. Why has Capcom shafted the platform with cheap re-makes (RE: DS) and GBA upgrades? Why did Konami only allot a budget of $215.65 for Winning 11 DS?

Thanks for the info.

CVX, do you know where Nintendo dream get their figure from ? M-create, Famitsu or Dengeki ?

http://moorangol.altervista.org/ds.html
I usually take data from Famitsu every week, so the chart should me more accurate and also last update was a week ago, but mainly last big update was the first half 2006 chart posted in early July. I think it will get new update in February when Famitsu will release top100 for 2006.
Anyway, LTD are higher than the chart coming from Dengeki (i think it's LTD from 2005)


I'm sorry if this can be interpreted as spam, but i didn't get anything from these pages, i make them just for the love of sales data and usually i don't make links, if someone is interested just bookmark it :)
