NDS has already sold more combined than GBA did in its lifetime?? and is only 5 million away from the entire PS2 lifetime sales?
No way....did someone turn over two pages at once?

Essentially, it's a whole bunch of single holidays so close together that the whole bloody week is considered a holiday now. One of the biggest non-December shopping and entertainment revenue booms in Japan.
Can't believe I missed this. Nice.
30 - 50 Except for 1 game all Nintendo.. And 45/50 for the whole chart. This is just sick :lol
I just can't believe Nintendo has to litterly obliterate everyone else just to get 3rd party developers even noticing. Maybe now they'll learn there is a shitload of money to be made if they just try it their best instead of porting crap and then blame 1st party software.

Just wondering, how close is Gamecube to beating the Xbox in worldwide sales? Does anyone know?

It's still probably 4-5 million behind. It won't make it.Alkaliine said:

Let's see more charts, people.

2 month ago, when Nintendo had started talking about increase production, I have heard that they're already at 0,8 mil/mo and they're going to increase to 1 million per month... So the increase could be 200K per month.
(800 000 per month, for the moment, sounds to be a good number. Look : Wii sells for february : 360 000 for NA (335K for USA + 28K for Canada, according NPD), 278646 for japan (according médiacreate), and maybe only 150 000 for Europe...)

Per month, chief. It is most likely more than that, but it's a safe, conservative estimate, and I don't think it's invalid just because it's on the low end of the range.

105,000 Wii consoles were sold during launch weekend(december 8) in the UK alone. Wii consoles continue to fly off retailers shelves. You cannot walk into a shop in the UK & get a Wii unless you know when a shop gets it's deliveries. I would estimate that in the UK alone about a third of a million Wii consoles have been bought by Gamers & non-gamer's.

There are many mysterious eBay ids bidding on both the PS3 and the Wii at highly inflated prices. I won't be surprised if this is one of them, especially since the user ids were kept private.

The difference is that once Wii gets over X360 by as much as Xbox is over GameCube, Nintendo fanboys can really throw a party.SonSon2 said:

The 'H' stands for hentai.

Hopefully not, because the DS definitely had more games that appealed to me than the GBA which was infected by the Pokemon "inspired" demographic.
tanasten said:
i dont think it will.. i mean the GBA had many kiddie games but it wasnt really a Kiddie system.. it was a gaming device for everyone (judging from sales that is..) even hardcore adults
i think the DS did that fine and expanded upon it with their touch gen series..
Pokemon is not going to stop the touch gen series (cooking navy is the next for NA?)
and the Touch gen series did not stop games like EBA, CV or Advance wars to come out

Jesus, Pokemon in Europe and America....BOTH?! Sony's gotta endure two more Pokemon: D&P launches???? This isn't even fair, fellow gamers. Nintendo, come on, let a few more PSP games be released before you nuke the West and entire industry with two more bombs. Give the PSP some breathing room!

Pokemon is still big news?
It feels like D&P came out a long time ago, I guess being on GAF makes Japanese launches feel like home

You know, the other day I was talking witha friend of mine, and I told him the DS would pull ahead in NA and Europe like crazy when Pokemon is released. He told me that Pokemon wasn't that huge anymore, then I told him about the 5+ million units sold in Japan, and he was like WTF!?Smiles and Cries said:
Some people still thinks pokemon is a fad, it's somewhat funny.

No. Nintendo has not announced Cooking! Navi, Brain Training 2 (featuring Dr. Mario), <insert language> training, General Knowledge Training, or 1000 Healthy Recipes DS for the U.S. It's plain for anyone to see that Nintendo just hates money.
It's particularly troublesome for me as I really don't see anything being released in the first half of the year (from this point) that I'm interested in for the DS. All of those games should already be announced/on the shelves in the U.S. for the DS by this point. JoshuaJSlone

I didn't try to compare an equal time from launch or anything, just a random comparison to fulfill PantherLotus's request.sphinx said:
Not too long after the DS family catches up to PS2.cvxfreak said:
People talk about Nintendogs, Brain Age, New Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart DS, and Animal Crossing: Wild World's sales when they think of heavy DS hitters. The thought is that Pokemon is not as popular as it once was around ten years ago. That may be true, but every new iteration of a handheld Pokemon RPG is a guaranteed ten million seller.
In the end, it will be interesting to see which DS game ends up on top, though. New Super Mario Bros. is at like 8 million and Nintendogs has sold more than that, hasn't it? Then there's Brain Age which has been hugely popular in Japan and now Europe, not to mention it has sold well over a million in the U.S. already.
I'm sure Nintendo has something else they can pull out of their hat, too, for the handheld.

So, is Squenix going to be releasing Joker outside of Japan or are they going to continue with their spotty release of DQ games here in NA?

Well I don't really blame him, I dunno but I am still in shock that it still sells so well, to think you can finally trade online

To step outside of Japan for a second (sorry), Wikipedia (I know, I know) has the Pokemon series at 155 million ww, while Madden is at 56 million ww. (I'm not saying these numbers are trustworthy down to the million, but they're probably enough of an indication as to which franchise is more popular.farnham said:

Nintendo loves money, they are holding those games while Brain Age, Nintendogs and Big Brain build a bigger brand.... They prefer 10 million of people to anticipate the sequel instead of 5 million
Same thing will happen to New Super Mario Bros 2 and Animal Crossing Wii I think. Maybe those games are already finished, like Super Mario Bros 3 was 17 years ago (whoa!! 17!)
