I think a lot of people are surprised by Children of Mana. It could very well even climb up to 300K at this rate.

Yeah Animal Crossing may have gone down 30,000 in sales but I don't think its losing steam.
I mean a game doesn't suddenly lose all of its legs like that. Next week it'll push at least another 50k.

when does mother 3 come out.
Yeah it is, but you know it's also true that nobody can say they are the total opposites so Japan is really what is helping the DS stay far enough ahead from the PSP so that Nintendo can keep saying how the DS is outselling the PSP.LM4sure said:

When did Tetris become the non-gamer killer ap?Link said:

Oblivion said:
the way i see it, when you ask people what games their parents played (and i feel like this is a universal question/responce) responces tend to consist largely of SMB and Tetris. That said, this is argueably the first system where there is an actual mom and dad (grandma?!) install-base. I have a feeling that Tetris DS will mesh fairly well into the "training" sales atmosphere. i could be very wrong of course ^_~

I want Mother 3 to sell 10 million copies.
Seeing Mother 1+2 chart should be a good indicator too, means people are preparing for Mother 3!
We can only hope at least!
Don't worry, haven't you noticed that I'm never around when these threads start anymore? I don't bother posting the HW numbers the next day anymore either.cvxfreak said:Didn't post them this week because I was at the post office picking up my DS Lite.
It sold 4.2 million copies on the GB but I don't know if it was a pack-in there like it was here.Oblivion said:

A Link to the Past said:Well, this sucks. DS seems to be losing steam, even with a large shipment of DS Lites.
Will the big three pick up in sales, or will DS software sales go down until Christmas?
Oh yes....only doing 49k a week when it came out 5 months ago is losing steam. :lol :lol
Every publisher would love to have a title with legs like that.
All this "losing steam" stuff is non-sense. The period of the year IS suppose to be a quiet period for videogame sales. For DS games to perform at this level during this quiet period is still a great achievement.
Plus, Golden Week sales data is coming up next week. I am sure we will see a huge sales spike because of this.

I bet the PSP RULED the 31-50 range. Only posting the Top 30 is a Nintendo fanboy plot to make the PSP look bad.

No matter how long it's been selling for, this is its worst week ever, IIRC.
Golden Week doesn't start until April 29th.mutsu said:
EDIT: And just so people know, we'll get a chart next week as usual but the week after the chart will be delayed (if it's like last year, the delay will be almost a week) because of Golden Week. We'll then get the new chart a day or two after that.

all the uproar and disaproval of brain training and now that it's out here it's such a fun and easy to play game. it certainly isn't making me quit playing mario kart and metroid but it's fun so i don't see why people have been complaining for months about it in sales threads for.. like it'll ruin games forever.. makes no sense..
has anyone played brain training 2? i'm loving part one and wondering how different it is..
also that starfi game looks awesome in the videos i've seen!

What are you guys talking about losing steam? By the looks of it, it was just a slow week as ALL software was down.
AC and the trainings will be back up there by next week. People lose faith that easy?

I finally see how it did this after buying a copy for myself. I was one of the Brain Training, Nintendogs, etc. haters. But when I saw it in the store for 20 bucks, I jumped in. Sure, it's not a game. And I certainly don't want it to become the future of gaming. But it feels good to have it in my carrying case, you know? Everyone has those moments when s/he gets too involved in a traditional game. Being in the game world for too long can get kinda depressing. Brain Age offers a nice break from that. Even if I'm at home and I get too "into" Ninja Gaiden or whatever, I'll take a breather, fire up the DS (which gives off a different start-up sound if it's your birthday, as I discovered today), and do some Brain Age exercises. It works as an invigorator; in fact, I recently used it before starting a long study session just to sharpen up my mind a little.kia said:
I'm definitely not a fan of games becoming more like Brain Age, but I'm no longer a hater.
Battersea Power Station said:
The neat thing is, there's no reason to think that Brain Age or its ilk will become the future of gaming. It's a new market within the gaming industry, and it'll, over the long-term, cut itself out a nice niche of the market.
But it's just one more genre or option amongst many others; traditional gaming genres will continue to see new releases, and will continue just as they were before. Those people who are fearing that Brain Training will "replace" traditional gaming... well, it's just not going to happen. It's an expansion of the market and an expansion of gaming options, not a replacement.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked it. My mom's birthday is coming up -- I'm planning on getting her a copy, though I'm still not sure if I'll get one for myself.
Battersea Power Station said:
Well, happy birthday dude!
And yes I agree. Can't say I have played Braintraining yet so no experience there. But Tetris and especially Nintendogs, Mario Party and Guitar Hero (although the latter is a PS2 game) give me those breathers from the hectic world of action games and role playing games I sometimes just need and want.
