Damn, that was fast.

Sweet. I had no idea 8 was the highest selling in Japan.
And seeing 6 up there from the SNES? Fantastic - it was the best!

Somehow, I thought FFCC did better than that - I thought it launched with like 300k+, no? Man, that fell fast then.

Did FFTactics break 1mil in US?

It's not accurate enough. Far from accurate.

Look at the past few weeks for Animal Crossing DS FE. He has has it selling around 12,000 MORE units per week than what Media Create says.

The fat DS still beats the Xbox 360 out by a few hundred units. Step down, Microsoft.

Nah, they just need to release a good Pachinko game for 360

 

[CoolTrick]

hardly 12k difference?

Maybe we should talk about the 250,000+ difference in your total Animal Crossing sales. Media Create may not track every store, but they didn't miss 250,000 in sales.

 

[cvxfreak]

I expect Pokemon Ranger to stick around well into July, when the move comes out. Maybe Diamond and Pearl's connectivity to it will also boost it.

 

[Wink]

It's Point Blank DS.

:-O how did I miss this thread? Oh, I know. Never visit your girlfriend for two weeks when there is no way to go online.

[KINGMOKU]

According to the numbers I have gathered from magicbox, and everything and nothing, look at this;


The PS2 has 4games that have sold over 2million copies;

1.)PS2 Square Enix Dragon Quest VIII: 3.609.000
2.)PS2 Square Final Fantasy X 2.736.750
3.)PS2 Square Enix Final Fantasy XII 2.275.500
4.)PS2 Square Final Fantasy X-2 2.112.250


It also has 1 game over 3million. How long has the PS2 been on thelarket in Japan?

The DS has three game over 2 million, with NSMB joining the ranks within the month.

1.)Animal Crossing-3.060.750
2.)Brain Training 2-2.735.000
3.)Brian training 1-2.584.250


That is crazy. If thispace keeps up, the DS will have the most 2+million sellers EVER.

Since again the early software numbers are right, I assume so is the hardware. Minus the 100 or so GBA and Xbox sales.
Pie and bar charts of the week. I now have them by default use the most recent week, but if you want a previous week, just append ?date1=2004-11-29 or whatever. I have from 2003 on. Probably should put 2002 in, even though it's quite spotty.

Earlier I started to work on a line graph, but instead got sidetracked by an idea that seemed more fun. With my pie charts, the main gimmick is that each week a pixel is worth the same amount as a pixel in any other week, with the entire pie varying size. I thought it'd be interesting to keep the pixel worth the same, but show larger periods of time. So here is a big pie chart of 2006 so far. Here is an even bigger pie chart of 2005. And here is a still-bigger pie chart showing from DS launch to present.

Can you make that pie chart yellow for the DS by default?

And it has at least two more guaranteed, with Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Plus, in all likelihood, the inevitable "third version." And probably at least one or two more Brain Training games in its lifecycle, plus maybe another Mario platformer.

Yep... crazy indeed.

Yep... crazy indeed.

The PS had 7 2+million sellers, The Gameboy 13, the GBA 3, the NES 10, the SNES 12, and the N64 1.

The DS has(I am counting the NSMB game) 4. Crazy as hell. It could end up higher then the GB, wich would be a feat of all feats,

I wonder how many copies of a DS version of Smash Brothers would sell? My guess would be over 3million.
