DSL will smash all previous sales records in 2006 but will Nintendo be able to maintain this momentum in 2007? Has anyone got any info' for games/non-games releases in 2007?

:)
In 2007 the DS will just be used as a Wii controller.

IGN on DS launch said said:
The large Bic Camera outside the "Hachiko" exit from the JR train station had around 30 people lined up. Things were very quiet at the nearby Tsutaya outlet, where all of five people had lined up in anticipation of the 7:00AM launch
So more people turned up to the 360 launch than the DS one? WOW

Report of Japanese kind of selling of the ' NDS Lite Pink ' 20.07.06 -

Since today the ' Nintendo DS Lite Pink ' is available in Japan. After a report of the Famitsu stood before Big Camera in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, at 10:00 o'clock in the morning for the shop opening of 160 people. The first customer had already arrived in the morning at 03:00 o'clock :lol: . . At 11:30 o'clock more than 400 customers stood in a queue,:D under it very many women:) . Before the branch of Big Camera in Yurakucho, Tokyo, came it to a queue of 160 customers. Before Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara stood at 08:00 o'clock in the morning about 70 people. The first customers came already at 06:00 o'clock with the first course at 09:00 o'clock increased the queue on 200 persons.:lol Employees led the waiting in the 6. Stick of the business, where the Handheld was sold at six cashes. There were many women among the buyers, in addition, some men also here:lol : 16 of 25 asked predominantly bought the ' NDS Lite Pink ' as gift for its friend, daughter or mother. Some women bought directly two of Handhelds :o - one for itself and one as gift. Due to the high demand the managing director of the branch assumes for instance at 14:00 o'clock or 15:00 o'clock the inventory is sold off-WTF??

I think that this is a good idea to try and get more female gamers. I'd buy this for my little cousin if it came out in the states. So is this an official color or just a limited edition? (Sorry if it has laready been awnserd.)

Care to wager on that? Loser gets banned for a month.

I don't place that bet...

How many copies do you think it will hit?


I honestly dont know either. This is the biggest 3rd-party game to hit the little bastard yet, so who knows.

... because I really can't say, how much it will sell. Maybe 800k...

A new FF on PS2 will sell 2.5M
A new FF on DS will sell 1.5-2.0M (EDIT: typo, should be 1.0-1.5M)
A remake of FF III will sell ???


Saoh said:
your opinion is very very wrong. fact. :P

It would be nice, if FF III sells 2-3M... but it won't. We'll see...
 
Official color. It's here in unlimited (well... at some point) quantities.

If they ever find they for some odd reason can't sell all the pink, all they have to do is slap Hello Kitty on it :D

:lol :lol Oh man, that got me.

This thread is ridiculous. The Japanese really love the DS!

Yep, and Nintendo, with the DS has single-handedly given the Japanese market growth.
 
Fat pink ds was very nice, but judging from the pictures in this thread the slim pink sister of fat pink ds is an ugly whore. :(

It's nearly new. You're thinking the fact that it sold 1.4M on its one release 16 years ago on NES will cut the total remake's sales potential by a million?

No. But the fact, that it's not released on PS2. And that DS players (mostly) buy nintendo games.

There's a big potential (for a 3rd party game), but it will never sold more than 2.0M... 1.5M would be a great success!

You say that if it was an all-new FF DS, your prediction would be 1.5-2.0 million. And that since it isn't, your guess is more like 800K. That says to me that you guess 0.7-1.2 million sales are lost due to the original version.

Nintendo's audience is actually quite susceptible to Square-Enix games. I don't know if it's because Square-Enix is so popular that their games would sell anywhere or if it's because Nintendo fans remember the intertwining history of the two companies.
