I, optimistically, predicted ~50,000 units in its first week. Looks like it could edge over 40,000 with any luck, starting it off better than the previous HM DS games (right?).

Nice...

So is Phoenix Wright/Trauma Center in the UK.

Would you class them 1st, or 3rd party? :)
Click to expand...
As I said, 1st party published, which always is a big plus (seems not for Tamaran:lol ).

Just like Tekken, Ridge Racer and such Namco titles from SCEE...always better for Namco.

I thought Caravan Heart was DQM4...wasn't there a DQM3 on the GBC? Also, this kind of shows that with the massive power of the DS DQM: J is surely a VERY strong contender for a million easily.

Hasn't Final Fantasy historically sold about 90% of its total sales in the first week? And even then, wasn't it mostly in the first day of release? Could we see total sales only at, say, 600,000? I believe that I predicted 800,000, by the way.
Click to expand...

Not on DS, maybe on PS but on DS a game sells as long as it sells and keeps going. Also this is one days sales, not one weeks sales. I expect it'll be 500,000 or more this week alone

Normally though, if a game hits big to begin with on DS it'll have legs.

So, does anyone know when Square will release more footage from FF:CC. They "accidentally" showed the footage of the game during nintendo's E3 conference instead of showing FF:III.

I bet they are going to wait till the US release of FF:III, and a month or two later announce more info.

And so we can safely conclude that about 25,000 DSLs were produced with FFIII, and surprisingly not all of it sold out.

It would have sold out if they bundled a game from a more popular franchise with a more popular handheld.

Obviously the PSP is the better handheld this year. Just look at this comparison to the figures for this week last year.

PSP

2005 15 Aug - 21 Aug: 23,923
2006 14 Aug - 20 Aug: 41,535

An increase of 17,612 or 74%.


DS

2005 15 Aug - 21 Aug: 80,945
2006 14 Aug - 20 Aug: 75,207

An decrease of 5,738 or 7%.


Clearly, the PSP is on its way up, and the DS is on its way down. Japan has spoken.

:p Just wanted to point out that this is the first time in months that DS has sold below the corresponding week for 2005.

The worst selling 3rd party game is on the DS, this only reinforces the fact that 3rd party games sell worse on the DS. Like the fact that Rune Factory sold more than double all the PSP games there combined, or FFIII sold even better than that matters. Pfft! And donny2112 only helps confirm that the PSP is on the rise and the DS is on a big downfall.

Yeah, don't forget to mention that next week, there is a very strong probability that DSL will get 300K+ sales, and the week after that DSL will drop at least 30% (to 200K), which re-confirm neoGAF "arm chair analyst" that DSL is in a downward trend, and going to lose to PSP. :)

The game is over in Japan. Right now, Nintendo's strategy is just building as large a lead as it can so they can make a ton of money on years 4, 5 and 6.

Argh! What happened to NSMB? I would have thought a week like this would've seen a boost to sales...

Pretty solid. This also means they shipped an additional 100k after the first day (if the first numbers where right).

amazing numbers for ffiii, i honestly didn't expect 500k for the first week. obviously this means more major square-enix love for ds and more ff games. i'm hoping for a new, more tradtional, ffiii like, ff.

surprisingly low for nsmb, if it was dropping you'd expect a slower decline rather than near 40%. i wonder if nintendo purposely undershipped the game this week to give ffiii the limelight...

harvest moon also sold great. seems like this is a definite turning point for ds and third parties.

don't know if this has been posted but www.gamefront.de is reporting nintendo is shipping ~150k of black ds lites for its launch this saturday.

There's a thread that reported 500,000 sales, so its not unexpected (to me anyway)
Also Marios numbers are great considering those likely to have bought Mario probably went for FFIII this week.

Never. FF games usually blow their wad in their first week.

60k next week, and then the game will feature a half-life of one week until it's off store shelves.
