What date was the DS released on?

 

[Bebpo]

Surprisingly high DS numbers and a bigger than expected drop off for DQVIII.

Heck I doubt DQVIII will touch 4 million lifetime, especially since you can now find used copies everywhere.

2.6 million is very good though

 

[AniHawk]

Holy damn.

 

[heidern]

So like, is this thread Metroid Prime 2 to the NPD being Halo 2?

 

[king zell]

its sure good to be doomed

 

[puck1337]

Well, fuck a duck. NDS' got gumption.

 

[Beezy]

DS was released on the 2nd right? So the DS sales are for only 3 days?

 

[Gahiggidy]

Quick Pop-Quiz....

What's the 2nd largest wk. 2 sales this generation? WE6? Some FF game? I know that that 476k for DQhas got to be #1 for a 2nd week.

That would be 4 days, not 3.

So, Nintendo is still doomed right?

 

[Code_Link]

They're gonna spin it until it looks that way.

Ru/Sh

Actually, if you use Famitsu numbers for both, Ru/Sa missed the mark by 100K or so.

Still, DQVIII won't outsell Ru/Sa. Pokemon games spread their sales out, while DQ gets them right out the gate.

So, Nintendo is still doomed right?

Actually what with Dragon Quest 8 selling less than half what Dragon Quest 7 sold in its second week, GC selling a miserly 5k consoles coming to the frst week of December, Gamecube and MGS bombing in the US and the sales thread for Japanese DS launch week being quiet I'd say its more like Japan is doomed.

Actually... I'd say America is doomed. Wait and see.
