the scary thing is that the SMB rom on REV is going to do it all again =/
I hope nintendo keeps and reports tallys on DLed games for the revolution, should be extremely interesting.
I guess nintendo was right, in Japan at least. We will see how the WiFi for DS works out in the US. I have a feeling that will be the US analog to brain training, I think a portable online Mario Kart and Animal crossing could be huge judging by GC penetrations of those respetive titles.
We will see, I admire some of what Nintendo is doing with the DS in Japan but it just doesn't translate to the West imo

Wow, great chart! And this is sell through right? so if the Nintendog shipments are higher than GC game shipments during those weeks, they are indeed selling quite a bit more as well? I can't believe the brain training sell through in the later weeks has reached > 100!!!
It's a wonderful game, I'm glad I imported. Hope It comes to america so I can score the reading portions more accurately

I wonder what total sales of Super Mario Bros. are now in Japan?
I know the original Famicom version is still the best selling single video game in Japanese history.

DS and PSP shouldn't even be close though.
If PSP can't outsell the DS by a large margin given Winning Eleven and a new hardware color ... they're seriously fuxxored in Japan.
Nintendo should definitely have a Famicom-colored Revolution model for launch or shortly thereafter.

White PSP + Winning Eleven 9: UE + Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children should be much more than enough to handle Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney and Tamagotchi Connection: Corner Shop.
It will be interesting to see how much more Nintendo handhelds dominated than normal.

But then you gotta consider the Brain Training games, which are essentially new games each week.

You're forgetting that Sony is also going up against the holiday called Easter.

In Japan they celebrate Easter several times a year.

It's a Revolution.
Thing is once the Rev arrives, this industry will be going back to the days when Nintendo ruled, only this time around Nintendo won't be ruthless to 3rd parties, they will be sinking in their own crap. You can't sell shitware to a fanbase that's used to getting nothing but quality from an early age. That shit doesn't fly with Nintendo fans. A nintendo fan knows a game is shit just by looking at it.

Famicom Mini: Super Mario Bros has sold around 200k in the first week
What the fuck?
The original rerelease of this game debuted in 5th place on the weekly charts with 65,100 sold. Now the rerelease of the rerelease on the same hardware debuts at triple the sales? If true that's pretty much the most insane sales happening to ever happen in gaming. Looks like the appeal of nostalgia really is growing with time. It doesn't matter what the REvolution really does, Nintendo are going to make an absolute killing off of the virtual console download service.

I think a lot of people purchasing the Famicom model GB Micro probably picked up Super Mario Bros. ... you can't have one without the other.
Nintendo would be wise to do something similar for Revolution launch in Japan ... Famicom pack with Famicom colored console and Super Mario Bros. installed onto the system.

Last week the DS did 48K with no new releases. This week there's Tamagotchi which is probably between 60-100K and Gyatuken Saiban which is probably 40-60K as well as the weekly new releases of Brain Training this week. Taking that into account we could very well see DS sales hit as high as 60-70K this week. But if I were to guess I'd guess 58K. Oh and Rockman EXE 6 is hitting GBA in November now and that could all told very well be the biggest handheld release for the last quarter. Shit, the handheld market was already pounding the home console market anyway, now this Game Boy resurgence is gonna make it explode even more.
