[BorkBork]

I agree with the guy on the right.

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

No hardware, no dice. In b4 da lock.

 

[vasuba]

The News article seems to suggest those are 1 day sales and we know for sure nintendo had 900k more for the next day

Probably around 130-160K, or whatever Nintendo shipped for da week.

i cant view the page at work can you drop the text wher eyou think it says that?

 

[ethelred]

Bubububu that can't be because we all know the DS is just selling to the same people as on the GBA and the non-gamers aren't at all being weaned into actual games.

 

[SuperPac]

Yeah... Wii + Pokemon is gonna rock it.

 

[Mrbob]

Err, I don't think anyone has argued that Pokemon wouldn't be anything but a massive hit for the DS.

 

[Galactic Fork]

Not quite DQ is it.

No, it'll still be selling in 4 weeks.

 

[xaosslug]

[Error]

yeah unlike DQ, Pokemon has good legs on sales charts.

 

[polg]

is it Easter already?

easter was never gone

 

[KINGMOKU]

That says it sold that many copies on that day, the 28th. If I read the translation correctly.

Could we get a non-Engrish, non-Babelfished translation from someone, please?

"F*ck Yeah!!! Record breaking DS related sales make my nipples hard!"

Can't wait to see how many Brain Trained pedophiles Nintendo expanded the market with.

It says the game was released on 28th and since then it has sold...
Babelfish is bollocks for Japanese.

 

[Jiggy]

Edit: Never mind.

Still great numbers though.

[KINGMOKU]

Okay, so in four days, it sold 1.5million copies.


I thought I entered a time warp and its been 7-days since the release. My mind stuttered there for a moment.

 

[Tornado Condor]

i expected two millions

 

[Jiggy]

Okay, so in four days, it sold 1.5million copies.

And I'd love to know how many of those 1.5 million were actually the first day alone.

Not bad at all, very good, although I expected a little more.

Can't wait to see the 2nd week numbers

 

[AniHawk]

Surely this is a sign of the end times.

In a series that's been in a steadily and noticably consistent sales decline since its inception, when the latest entry sells a good chunk more in its first week than any of the prior games have sold in their first week, and you expect more... how reasonable were your expectations, one must ask.

 

[AlanHemberger]

No, it'll still be selling in 4 weeks.

sick burn

 

[BorkBork]

My 1.91 million first week sales prediction appears to be holding.

 

[cvxfreak]

And I'd love to know how many of those 1.5 million were actually the first day alone.

900K.

 

[duderon]

We need shipment numbers for this week, Nintendo.

 

[NomarTyme]

My prediction was 1.7, so I was close enough

 

[wonderfuldays]

[Meier]

My prediction was 1.7, so I was close enough

Was just coming in to say that cvx predicted 1.6. Nice job both of you.

Honestly I thought my numbers were off because I didn't think Nintendo would ship enough.
