Well, the launch of the DSlite might help push Super Mario 64DS. It's pretty common knowledge to pick up a Mario game with a new Nintendo system.
I hope it makes it too.

Very true culex, but then again I actually can see a few Japan numbers, so it's easier to question.
Have you added the week of 23 - 29? Or maybe I jsut added wrong

No release date announced yet. I think it slipped into NoE's Q2 release schedule, though I'm not perfectly sure.
Wow at the total DS ownage. Square also had a really good month on the ps2 with the top 3 titles.
Anyway, here's the charts for each system, roughly grouped by the key battles in the industry:

It's amazing how the million sellers seem to keep stacking up over and over. Pretty soon Wario will join the ranks, Tamagotchi's got it in the bag and Mario's close. I think Eigo Zuke (English Training) will also get there, as will New Super Mario Bros., and Pokemon DP. Hopefully more third party games break into the million ranks like Final Fantasy III.
It's pretty stunning that Nintendo has had this much success in the first year of the machine, but it makes it hard to contemplate the levels of pwnage that might happen in 2006 with games like New Super Mario Bros and Pokemon on the horizon. But I do have to say one thing...
Animal Crossing approaching 2 million!? When was the last time a Nintendo game sold 2 million in Japan!? That's fucking insane, and a real show of return to form. Haters be damned - Nintendo is back in the driving seat.

Pokemon was published by Pokemon Co., so technically...Jiggy37 said:
Now you mention it, it's worth pointing out that Nintendo will be publishing Pokemon Ranger by themselves, so maybe the Pokemon roster is back on the Nintendo label? That could make the numbers very impressive at the end of the year.

Come this time next year that chart will be full of Rev/DS games only in the top 10 with 1 or 2 PS3 games inbetween. Don't believe me? Save this thread
DS software is just insane. HOLY CRAP.
I think those DS Pokemon games will outsell GBA Ru/Sh. I think they will sell 3 million each. The Pokemon dungeon titles has sold around 700k each right? Amazing for a spinoff.
AC will be breaking 2.5-3 million shortly after DS Lite arrival. AC now cemented itself up there with Pokemon, FF, DW league.
FF III will also pulled huge numbers. I think it'll outsell Tamagotchi as the best third party seller. Bandai must be laughing all the way to the bank right now. Tamagotchi sequel could be reveal anyday now. :lol
And New Super Marios Bros. will be a mega hit. These folks just snatched up 1,000,000 copies of FC Mini SMB like nothing.

Including the Pokemon Company, Nintendo's Top 100 software sales were 4,480,582 (without Pokemon Co.= 4,088,756). That's just for the January chart! Obviously it'll fall off a good bit in February, but the sales should still be amazing.
I wonder what the all-time record for software sold by a single publisher in a year is in Japan. Surely Nintendo has a chance to break that record if they can somewhat maintain this pace.
SE is off to a good start as well, especially compared to last year.

This would be very interesting to know.MASB said:
With Zelda TP; New Super Mario DS; Metroid Hunters and Brain Training in the west: Rev launch titles with possibility of Mario and SSB I think Nintendo have a chance of pulling big big sales this year.
Id also go as far as to say with the DSlite release in the east and west and the Rev launch, hardware numbers are probably going to be massive too.
What is the most in a year?

Ryu ga Gotoku has legs, already 325k
Rogue Galaxy not bomba either, near 350k
Resident Evil 4 at 425k, nice numbers.
Well, more love in a month I hope

:lol oh my god.
It's scary to think that 4 of the DS million sellers are still the top 4 selling pieces of software on the system, each of those 4 selling more than the best selling game of Jan 2006 on every other system...and all the million sellers are still in the system's top 10 selling games.
Tamagotchi Corner Shop is about to break 1 million in the next 2 weeks too.
oh, and DS software sales > everything else combined

If a traditional DS game like Mario Kart can break a million, I don't see any reason why the remake of a classic Final Fantasy game can't do it either. Same with SMB DS and Pokemon.

Do you have monthly tie ratios *not* cumulative since launch?cvxfreak said:DS: 6.496 (Jan)

Thank you cvxfreak, as usual your work is very appreciated !
Of course DS chart has been updated, i was luck to have a friend in Japan who brought me a Famitsu issue from January, i found a top30 DS chart so finally i got the total sold from "Kimi no Tame Nara Shineru" (Feel the Magic for you, western guys) and some other nice data, so happy cause the chart became more accurate.
After January monthly we can see JSS finally reached half million score and Wario still have legs, maybe it will reach million mark too, while it's a little difficult for Mario to reach the same score.
DS is breaking records month after month, so how many records will break new Super Mario Bros ?

I think it was the first FF to break a million units in Japan. And it hasn't been revisited since. I'm sure it can do close to a million, if not pass it.
