I'm hoping Guitar Hero has made a dent on the NZ charts, since everywhere I went it seemed to be selling really well.

Which is why you should always upload them to another site first. Its pointless if people are trying to look back at weekly sales of the previous year and the sales are for a week beforehand.

..."PSP sold 2 million units in Spain, DS only 400.000 worldwide." ...

I haven't seen this ad at all. What TV are you watching?

It seems to be on everytime I watch ITV, C4 or Sky One. Even seen it a few times on RTE. I checked for it on youtube but it's not there unfortunately, it's very similar to the Japanese commercial though, except no vocals.

Wow, that French chart is quite impressive. DS Lite is truly the #1 system worldwide these days and deservedly so. :D

its getting lots of air time in the UK with radio and TV shows chatting about it, and even Radio 1 (Sony lovers) hammering the PSP for lack of wantable software compared to the DS

Well, Touch Generations for the win, again.

[edit] My bad. New Super Mario Bros is labelled as Touch Generations in Japan, but not in Europe.

Dslite is sold in pretty much all stores. Yet the game selection pretty much sucks and there is hardly any avertising for it. Unlike PSP which is pretty much everywhere and dwarfs the DSlite in shop displays.

Also what's up with Diablo II in the top ten? I sometimes think New Zealand lives in some wacked gaming dimension, seperate from the rest of the world.

At least singstar has made it cool to have a PS2 now...:D

Edit: I wonder if Diablo II is supposed to be Titan Quest... Pretty stupid mistake if it was, but would make sense I suppose.

It'll be interesting to see how Electroplankton (£29.99) does when released this Friday alongside Big Brain Academy (£19.99)...BBA's bound to hit the Top 10, but does anyone reckon the musical 'game' will manage to break the Top 40?

I really hope so as it'll likely nudge Iwai-san towards doing the Wii project he recently said he was considering.

DS pulls ahead of PSP in the UK for 2006:
http://www.mcvuk.com/newsitem.php?id=1158
Advantage Nintendo

10:15, Jul 7th by Neil Long

PSP’s impressive start in the handheld market has been soured this week as rival console Nintendo DS began to pull ahead in the race for portable supremacy.

The latest industry estimates suggest that the June 23rd launch of DS Lite, while deemed unspectacular by some at the time, has boosted hardware sales for the year so far ahead of Sony’s PSP.

And Nintendo is eclipsing the competition in the software charts – this week’s biggest selling DS game New Super Mario Bros outsold top PSP title Tomb Raider: Legend by a ratio of over five to one. The Nintendo format also claimed the prize for being the overall top-selling full price console platform this week.

As the summer months shift gamers’ focus toward handhelds, the sector as a whole seems to be gaining strength all the time.

For the full story, see today's MCV (7/7).

It will be interesting to see if DS can hold onto this lead.

I think the lead is bigger...

The latest industry estimates suggest that the June 23rd launch of DS Lite, while deemed unspectacular by some at the time, has boosted hardware sales for the year so far ahead of Sony’s PSP.

So 2006 LTD DS just surpassed PSP, but it has 2005 LTD lead too.


EDIT: The DS 2005 LTD was 0.95 and PSP was 0.81, so the lead is >140k

i understand, but, i was talking about whether ds can hold onto its 2006 lead over psp, not the overall lead.

the challenge for ds is to maintain its ytd lead over psp in the coming months.

Gamesman actually had giant DSL and NSMB cardboard stands in the display window down Lambton Quay. I was shocked. But having said that you still have to go into the pits of hell to get to the DS section.
Man I hate Monaco. 10,000 GCN's sold in NZ; 140,000 Xboxes and 350,000 PS2's.
The 360 has already outsold GCN.

Where did the Euro Lite figures come from for the UK?
Click to expand...

I'm pretty sure those are for the first two days of sale in the U.K. Compare it to the ~136K sold in the U.S. in two days.

Chart Track stated 35,000 in the first two days. But Chart-Track doesn't include the sales from Toys 'R Us, one of the largest retailers in the UK, so chances are sales were actually much higher.

Wish Nintendo would go on record with official figures...Gaybrush, The Colonel, anyone? ;)

Great stuff. Has anyone (from any European country) seen any adverts or promotion from Electroplankton?

Haven't seen any commercials for Electroplankton.. but there are DSL, Touch Generations, Nintendogs, Brain Academy and New SMB ads all over the place. I usually don't watch tv that often, but I've never seen such an massvie advertising effort from Nintendo EVER.
The ads are on every station every time of the day. Sometimes there are even more than five Nintendo ads in one commercial break.
So if there's a chance to see Nintendo advertising a game like Electroplankton, it is now. ;)

What a complete opposite performance to the N64 which did poorly in Japan and Europe (UK especially) and yet really well in the USA (20m+), considering some people would categorise it as almost a handheld N64 in some ways (Mario 64, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart DS etc).
