[kisakiproject]

Yay real games in the top 10. Damn mario is a beast.

 

[Raw64life]

Haha @ #9.

As of next week NSMB will be the best selling Mario platformer in Japan since Super Mario World and the best selling Mario game of any kind since Mario Kart 64. Also, Brain Age + Brain Age 2 combined is over 5 million now.

 

[Busaiku]

Only 6 Nintendo DS games?
This isn't looking too good for Nintendo.

9. is the brain training game directed by someone in the Sony Computer Science department.

1. Valkyrie Profile 2: Lenneth (PS2) - 281,510

Should be Silmeria, as neo has pointed out above.

 

[kisakiproject]

Did loco roco come out this week in Japan?

 

[Calidor]

#9 is Sony Computer Science Kenkyuusho Kenmogi Kenichirou Hakase Kanshuu - Nou ni Kaikan: Aha Taiken

VP2 is doing all right if you consider the season...but that just might be an American thing. Here's VP1's sales:

VALKYRIE PROFILE 99.12.22 PS
311,630 -> 97,282 -> 54,055
634,958 (49.08 %)

So it's tracking only 30,000 below VP1 or so...which is a sizable chunk, but it's still doing better than we thought I think.

 

[Emotions]

Go DS go.

Any LocoRoco sales figures?

Edit: Thought the game came out June 13th, please ignore this post. I somehow confused June with July.

 

[Archie]

Any LocoRoco sales figures?

0

 

[Emotions]

Oh Magical Vacation should have been on the top 10

 

[Busaiku]

Any LocoRoco sales figures?

Isn't it coming out in July?

 

[davepoobond]

surprising drop of how many DS titles are usually in the top 10 this week. only half this time.

SEEMS OVER FOR NINTENDO

 

[apujanata]

If the rumours of 168K for DSL is true, my comment is "unbelievable".

 

[Great Rumbler]

14 of the top 20 games are on the DS.

 

[davepoobond]

14 of the top 20 games are on the DS.

so the rest of the top 20 is ds :lol

Too many new games in the top ten.

 

[davepoobond]

Too many new games in the top ten.

true. i guess the lack of any releases because of the summer lull helps the ds placement-wise

[A Link to the Past]

Not really, just low sales period with DS games in general holding on longer.

Oh my.... complete bomba?

I hear MV launched with similar sales. Legs maybe/

 

[apujanata]

I hope they release MV2 in English. I need RPG for my DS.

 

[Clever Pun]

Oh my.... complete bomba?

at least it has already been confirmed for NA release

 

[Busaiku]

Actually sales seem to be up since last week, since Kaitou Rousseau at #23 was at 4,816, whereas Itadaki Street at #27 is at 4,707.

 

[cvxfreak]

Good sales for Digimon Story. A third party DS game in the charts for once.

 

[ivysaur12]

Good sales for Digimon Story. A third party DS game in the charts for once.

I've heard it's pretty good too. And it'll probably have legs.

 

[cvxfreak]

Big Brain Academy deserves better sales than BT1.

 

[jj984jj]

I hope they release MV2 in English. I need RPG for my DS.

Ummm... where've you been? It's already been confirmed.

Edit: Great sales for VP:S and NSMB BTW.

 

[Emotions]

They will it's coming out in the US at the end of October , It's going to be called Magical Starsign.

 

[LordPhlegm]

No Mother 3 though.

 

[starship]

So Children of Mana did around 5k this last week in Japan. Great legs for a third party game

 

[ethelred]

Wow, very, very disappointing launch for Magical Vacation 2. Legs or not, this game's not going to come anywhere close to selling comparably with its predecessor -- I'm very disappointed in that.

Great launch for VP2.

Metal Saga DS seems to have dropped off the top 30 in its second week... another ouch there.

I wouldn't be surprised if with worldwide sales it surpasses its predecessor, however. (the original never made it over, correct?)

 

[jj984jj]

Undoubtedly by the middle of July if not sooner NSMB will surpass SM64 in sales. That's quite a feat imo.

 

[loosus]

This makes me wonder how well Super Mario Galaxy will do...I really don't think Japan likes Mario in 3D. The sales of New Super Mario Bros. almost confirms it.

 

[Grug]

Slight DS dropoff this week.

Ah well, that means a little bit more pie for Pacman to eat this week.

 

[Grug]

I can see two things wrong with that statement, lets see if you people can spot them.

 

[cvxfreak]

Undoubtedly by the middle of July if not sooner NSMB will surpass SM64 in sales. That's quite a feat imo.

I disagree, mainly because Super Mario 64 wasn't even the best selling N64 game in Japan, and the DS is waaaaaaay passed the N64's userbase.

Still admirable, but not impossible to do.

That's a basless statement.
You'd have to compare NSMB to Sunshine. The latter being an underwhelming experience that arrived on a dead system in comparasion to what is basically the hottest gadget in Japan at the moment. DS already has outsold GCN LTD twice over.
NSMB will pass Mario 64 next week, although again the DS has far outsold the N64 in terms of hardware.

I don't think you can draw any real preference as the situations could not be more different. Somewhere a scientist is having trouble breathing.

Correct, plus, Mario is technically 3d in NSMB anyway.

 

[loosus]

Well, that's your opinion. Some people think the same thing about New Super Mario Bros.

on a dead system in comparasion to what is basically the hottest gadget in Japan at the moment

Uh, the GameCube was in its second year when Super Mario Sunshine was released. It was certainly not a "dead system" and on top of it, the game had years to sell.

NSMB will pass Mario 64 next week

Exactly. And it passed Super Mario Sunshine a long time ago.

Correct, plus, Mario is technically 3d in NSMB anyway.

You'd have to be pretty retarded to not know what I was talking about.

With the conjectures I've made that the DS installed base will carry heavily over to the Wii launch base, Galaxy could do better than anyone could predict.
