4  GBA   Mushiking   RPG    Sega   23-Jun   5,040  36,309

it was 12,000 last week. Honestly, the release of a DS game suddenly spurs the need to buy a GBA SP? If that's the case... Nintendo not only owns Japan, it freaking sleeps with it.

possible to have top 10 software in english ?

 

[nubbe]

The King of Beetles... what

 

[Dalthien]

Damn - the PSP has its best week since mid-May, and the DS beats it by more than four times.

And look at those GBA sales - with those factored in, Nintendo handhelds took more than 83% of the market this week!

And I believe the DS may have guaranteed itself the top spot for all gaming systems in Japan this year now. This week gives it a lead of 92,653 over the PS2 for 2005. The only way I could see the DS losing its lead to the PS2 would be if the GBA Micro seriously cuts into DS sales over the holidays. But with the tremendous success of Nintendogs, Brain Training Games, Jump SuperStars, and still-to-be-released holiday lineup for the DS, I don't see sales slowing too much over the holidays.

I was talking about the SP, not Mushi King -_-

 

[Pimpwerx]

Holy shitballs. The DS is starting to blow the doors off the PSP. Is there any game releases planned for the PSP, or is it dead in the water over in Japan? WTF is GT4 Mobile? PEACE.

 

[human5892]

Hopefully the new DS owners who bought it for JSS will be more receptive to traditional games -- it seems like the DS doesn't fare as well in sales for software that isn't as outside the box.

I'm interested to see how Castlevania does...

Castlevania does not do well in Japan.

 

[jgkspsx]

Nintendogs comes out in NA. We saw what it did for Japan. Will it do the same there?

I saw a twentysomething Hispanic couple trying it out at Best Buy this evening. She was very taken by it. It should be amusing, whatever happens.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

awesome DS numbers

GO JSS do it again next week

 

[cvxfreak]

Wow, DS really exploded this week as predicted. Next week's sales should be in the 60K or 70K range, or maybe even higher if their pace keeps up reasonably.

 

[Culex]

Holy sales spike!

This is the biggest one-week record since launch, no?

 

[jman2050]

Holy sales spike!

This is the biggest one-week record since launch, no?

Literally speaking, I think it sold more than 100k for a few weeks after. If you're talking about launch period, then yeah.

I also think this si the first time it's broken 100k since last year.

 

[Dalthien]

Holy sales spike!

Well, the DS was over 100,000 for each of its first six weeks, but this is the first time it has been in six figures since Jan 9/05. Although it came really close in April with the release of Nintendogs.

Yep, the last time it even came close (96,191) was the week pink and blue was released (04/18-04/24).

 

[John Harker]

Pokemon XD, ouch?

Japan did not catch 'um all.

 

[Mrbob]

YES! A PSP game in the top 10!

Baby steps.....

Oh and btw I was right about those numbers now that Jump Superstars is out.

 

[Dalthien]

Pokemon XD, ouch?

Well, it's at 137,188 now (Media-Create), and it is still doing well in the dailies. It should continue to sell fairly well right through Christmas, so I think it will probably do fairly well in the long run.

el oh el @ the third pillar.

what about the 320 pre-orders sold on first day. shouldn't it be 540,000 copies for jump super stars as a whole.

 

[Mrbob]

Those were retail preorders.


Don't worry, the other 100,00 will sell out in another week or two and retailers will order more copies if they haven't already.

 

[polg]

we need graphics... who was doing those week to week graphs?

 

[Dalthien]

That was JJS. Should be around soon.

 

[VOOK]

Those are some pretty impressive Sales Figures, PSP in a Lull before the White one comes out? Then again the DS sales where still high before the red one came out.

(also I want to thank you guys I made one post on here the other day and I get 1390 on my small nintendo site thanks!)

 

[heidern]

Looks like Easter really boosted the hardware sales this week. The major systems all jumped and even the xbox breached the 200 unit barrier. Winning Eleven 9 didn't do so well, last year was 150K second week, only 100K this year. DS is doing really well, gonna be crazy when the GBM hits. One question, when is Slime Mori Mori 2 releasing?

For reference here's the remaining psp releases for Auguest including their Famitsu scores.

PlayStation Portable
Breath of Fire III (Capcom): 7, 7, 8, 7 - (29/40)
Tiger Woods PGA Tour (EA): 8, 5, 6, 6 - (25/40)
Twelve: Sengoku Fengshenden (Konami): 8, 7, 8, 6 - (29/40)

Well, if you consider its highest numbers in months a lull, then sure.

 

[TurtleSnatcher]

wow.. Good f'n game.. Nintendo owns Japan

 

[mj1108]

That's the highest the PSP has been since...um...before the dogs hit.

Yep, the last time it even came close (96,191) was the week pink and blue was released (04/18-04/24).

Same week Nintendogs released.

Easter?!


EASTER?!

 

[mj1108]

Easter?!


EASTER?!

Yes, Easter. Anytime Nintendo has a sales spike with the DS, it's due to Easter.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

ah the old easter joke lives

 

[GhaleonEB]

As much as I mock the DS, it's a real tribute to Nintendo that they've made it such a success. Sony has to be frustrated as hell that a puppy simulator single-handedly handed Japan to the DS, while the PSP lags further and further behind.

All the PR stuff about new kinds of games on the DS sounded like BS to me, right up until Nintendogs blew the roof off the market.

OT, but Ghaleon, your modified avatar is hilarious.

I wish I could take credit for it. Someone posted it in one of the 360 reaction threads and it only seemed appropriate.

And a Gundam Seed UMD video.

 

[CoolTrick]

Jonny, any idea of how Ouendan has sold?

 

[imastalker co.]

 

[Jonnyram]

Jonny, any idea of how Ouendan has sold?

about 27k so far.

 

[wonderfuldays]

Ouendan just like Famicom WAR DS, because of no main famous characters so didn't doing so well.

 

[cvxfreak]

about 27k so far.

Not too bad...
