1. (DS, Nintendo) Motto Nou wo Kitaeru Otona no DS Training - 81,000 / 1,816,000

It came out in May LAST YEAR right?

 

[Archie]

God I hate non games they are stealing sales from the quality real games!!!!!!

 

[Raw64life]

#1 on the charts 4 months after release. Ridiculous.

 

[thestopsign]

Chart = Normal

These charts are getting sort of predictable.

Yeah, the DS-high wears off quickly now.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Slow release week in Japan it seems.

 

[koam]

#1 is which version of brain training? and why is it so high.. 81K?

And holy shit at animal crossing, almost 2.5 million

 

[Meier]

#1 on the charts 4 months after release. Ridiculous.

Seriously. I'm sure this sort of thing happened back in the day of the NES and SNES, but there's definitely been nothing even remotely like this in who knows how long. Really incredible.

 

[Robinspain]

No "important" games have been released this week.

Boring.................

Same games week after week.....

 

[thestopsign]

#1 is which version of brain training? and why is it so high.. 81K?

#2 or the one that came out in December.

 

[mj1108]

63k for Animal Crossing?? Isn't that the lowest it's been?

 

[koam]

#2 or the one that came out in December.

That's what I was thinking too but I don't see a "2" in there.

 

[cvxfreak]

Could Animal Crossing finally be losing steam?

Famitsu's numbers for the game had it at 100K last week, versus 80K for Media Create. Media Create's LTD is no longer reliable for AC.

Hardware tomorrow as always.

wow you are fast !

and wow @ those training software :lol

 

[meltpotato]

the one to really anticipate this week is hardware. gotta see what 360 does after last week's sales

 

[Fuzzy]

#1 is which version of brain training? and why is it so high.. 81K?

And holy shit at animal crossing, almost 2.5 million

1 = BT2
4 = BT
6 = English

I think cvxfreak should start using English translations (or use duckroll's) from now on.

 

[cvxfreak]

63k for Animal Crossing?? Isn't that the lowest it's been?

Lowest was February 20 - 26 at about 56K I think.

Predictions?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

It's just really, really popular and these games continue to sell to the new DS owners. 81K this week is actually down from last week's 86K.

 

[cvxfreak]

wow you are fast !

and wow @ those training software :lol

Ninja powers FTW.

 

[Mmmkay]

#1 is which version of brain training? and why is it so high.. 81K?

Because almost everyone who is buying a new DS is picking up a Brain Training game with it. I know I sure did

 

[meltpotato]

Predictions?

hrm... thats so hard to call seeing as how the 3000+ was completely unexpected... i'll say 2500 but i hope to be proved wrong (in the good way, stupid fanboys)

I'm going to predict roughly flat for 360. I'm an optimist.

 

[John Harker]

So... Contact didn't get some huge momentum and jump into the top 10 eh....

I guess the shortages are still in effect.

 

[citrus lump]

Man I wish Nintendo would release NSMB. If "non-games" kill it's sales, then Nintendo fans will finally be pissed too.

 

[meltpotato]

heh... likely wont even be in top 30 this week

 

[cvxfreak]

Contact sold around 6K last week in case anyone was wondering.

 

[meltpotato]

Man I wish Nintendo would release NSMB. If "non-games" kill it's sales, then Nintendo fans will finally be pissed too.

fallacious statement there. non-games could not kill sales. If anything, they would help them by having na expanded user-base and better consumer awareness of the DS hardware.

 

[mutsu]

Actually, does any Japan gaffers have any impression on Pro Soccer wo Tsukurou European Championship?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Non-game sales = NSMB selling >7 million and FF3 Remake selling >2 million (it's a remake so this may be an overstatement.

 

[Aft Dread Pressure]

Man I wish Nintendo would release NSMB. If "non-games" kill it's sales, then Nintendo fans will finally be pissed too.

10. (DS, Nintendo) Mario Kart DS - 23,000 / 1,258,000

This one didn't get its sales killed...

 

[Galactic Fork]

So... Contact didn't get some huge momentum and jump into the top 10 eh....

Maybe the 3 people who bought it last week each told three friends... If that keeps up, it'll reach a million!

 

[Frank the Great]

animal crossing DS outselling final fantasy 12?

lol

 

[jj984jj]

OMG! :lol

 

[mutsu]

fallacious statement there. non-games could not kill sales. If anything, they would help them by having na expanded user-base and better consumer awareness of the DS hardware.

As proven with Mario Kart DS. Easily the top selling Mario Kart in the franchise's history.

I thought Mario Kart 64 has sold better.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I thought Mario Kart 64 has sold better.

For now...

 

[Jiggy]

As has been said before, DS titles act as though it's their first week of release every week. It's insane.

Man I wish Nintendo would release NSMB. If "non-games" kill it's sales, then Nintendo fans will finally be pissed too.

I wouldn't. If the new outsells the old-school, that's just par for the course; I'm used to it by now. After Ocarina of Time outsold A Link to the Past, FFVII outsold the likes of FFVI and Chrono Trigger, and GTA outsells all but two or three franchises, nothing much can disturb me anymore.

 

[cvxfreak]

I thought Mario Kart 64 has sold better.

Yeah, but it outsold Mario Kart Advance and Double Dash, and who knows, MKDS may have longer legs than we anticipated and reach 2 Million... there's no denying anything on the DS anymore.

 

[Error]

DS domination.... *yawn*

 

[thestopsign]

As proven with Mario Kart DS. Easily the top selling Mario Kart in the franchise's history.

N64 version was the best selling game on the system. It sold like 2m alone.

 

[Gawaian]

ok, nm

 

[marvelharvey]

I'm sure that last week or the week before, we conclude that non-games aren't taking any anything away from 'games'. Once you remove Brain Training etc from the chart, 'game' sales are the same as last year.

 

[CoolTrick]

As proven with Mario Kart DS. Easily the top selling Mario Kart in the franchise's history.

Not even close.

 

[Doogdogg]

I thought Mario Kart 64 has sold better.

it did and SNES Mario Kart is even more than 64.

and WOW @ AC. While MC show it slowing down, Famitsu has it picking up, averaing 90-100k per week the last month.

 

[antipode]

I thought the original SNES Mario Kart was an absolute monster? Online sources have it at over 3.8 mil in Japan.

 

[sprsk]

The week of the 20th should see a big change in the charts. Also starfy 4 came out today so that will probably show up on next week charts.

What big games come out the 20th? Does Mother 3 have a chance of making the top 10?
