Wow. Not that bad for "doom 'n gloom" Japanese console sales. Anyone know if these are lower than the trend for their "prequels" on PS2?

*nod* My bad.ethelred said:Children of Mana wasn't developed by Brownie Brown (Sword was, and Heroes is). It was developed by Nextech, formerly Next Entertainment. They're an independent developer, not affiliated with Nintendo at all.

And holy crap, the Wii has already sold more games then the PSP this year? At least based on the top 100 games. The GBA also still outsold the PSP software (top 100).

Actually, they're now called Nex Entertainment (formerly Nextech, and before that Gau Entertainment). They're partially owned by SEGA too.ethelred said:Children of Mana wasn't developed by Brownie Brown (Sword was, and Heroes is). It was developed by Nextech, formerly Next Entertainment.

Record year for Japan as DS boosts market to GBP 2.7bn ($5.2 billion)
10:30, Jan 12th by Lisa Foster
Japans games market hit a record high in 2006, with hardware sales up by an impressive 160 per cent to Y261.9 billion (GBP 1.13bn) and software up by 125 per cent to Y363.89 billion (GBP 1.56bn).
The latest report from Famitsus research division reveals that the DS was the top-selling hardware, with 7.5 million units sold. In second place was the PSP, but sales were way behind the Nintendo system at 1.9m sales. The third best-selling console was the PS2, with 1.5m units sold.
Nintendo was the top-selling publisher in the territory, with 24.2m copies of its titles sold during 2006, followed by Square Enix (6.8m sales) and Pokemon (in Japan, Pokemon is a publisher label in its own right, as an affiliate of Nintendo) with 5.6m units.
Meanwhile, Japans top-selling games last year were Pokemon Diamond Pearl (4.3m units), New Super Mario Bros. (3.8m units) and Brain Training (3.7m units).
As was the case elsewhere, December was the biggest month of the year for the Japanese games market, with sales up 46.2 per cent compared to December 2005, thanks, of course to the launch of the Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3 in the territory.
Wii made its debut on December 2nd and sold through 989,000 units during the month. PS3 and Xbox 360 sold 298,000 and 100,000 units respectively during the month, to bring their total sales to 467,000 and 290,000. DS notched up 1.5m units during December.

This might be able to clear it up for you.titiklabingapat said:A few question though, is The Pokemon Company owned by Nintendo or is it a different company entirely? Is it second party? Why do they have a separate pie on the chart? Can anyone explain what their relationship is to Nintendo?
Wikipedia said:The Pokémon Company (株式会社ポケモン, Kabushiki-gaisha Pokemon?) is an affiliate of Nintendo set up as a marketing and licensing front for the highly successful Pokémon franchise. The video games, Pokémon Trading Card Game, and licensed toys are still being made by third and second party companies such as Game Freak and TOMY. According to their timeline, operations began in 1998 with the opening of Pokémon Center in Tokyo, before the actual trademark of "Pokémon, Ltd." was established in 2000. Since then, Nintendo has been marketing this branch as "The Pokémon Company". The US branch (Pokémon USA, Inc) would be opened in 2001 to handle licensing overseas.
titiklabingapat said:Wow!
I wish PAL and NA numbers were this easy to come by ;_;
donny2112 said:Hmmm.
GEIMIN has it that way, too, so someone must have put the number in wrong. Maybe 414 should be 23,447?
