Here are the latest entry for each series (I'm using Rockman Zero for Rockman ZX)
317,357 Tekken 5 (Namco) (3/31/05) - through Dec 25/05
10,949 Tekken 5 (PlayStation 2 the Best) (Namco) (11/2/05) - through Nov 27/05
256,412 Xenosaga Episode II: Jenseits von Gut und Bose (Namco) (6/24/04) - through Jan 2/05
65,341 Rockman Zero 4 (Mega Man Zero 4) (Capcom) (4/21/05) - through June 26/05
Based on these, Rockman ZX and Xenosaga seem to holding up the best in terms of their predecessors, however, Rockman Zero was a GBA title, whereas Tekken and Xenosaga were both PS2 titles.

I'm not in the know, but X2 sold 250k so X3 start sounds very solid. Tekken 5 did little over 300k so for a portable version it doesn't sound as a bad start.Roders5 said:
Rockman ZX start sounds good, Zero was on a decline from 230k to 75k on GBA, so the start is good and it should have legs just like Zero.

There'll definitely be a big drop for Xenosaga Episode III compared to Episode II, though. Its sales are going to plummet next week.
Looking at those Zero numbers, this is a very, very good start for ZX, I'd say. It'll probably end up with first week sales comparable to Zero 3, which means it's reversed a downward trend... definitely a promising sign. If it holds longer legs than the Zero games did (thanks to the random and unpredictable DS Effect), then it may end up doing way better, too.

The gamefront list is one week behind, that's all (don't know why that's the case though).

Nothing compared to 440k -> 250k. With 90k on release date, 150k is very likely, and 200k not out of reach when all is said.ethelred said:

Oh, yeah, I'm not saying it'll be a total sales disaster, or that the drop will be as severe as I to II. I'm just saying I think there is definitely going to be a very noticable drop between II and III. I don't think it'll hit 200k, personally.
Archie said:
Seriously.
Mega Man ZX: 25k
Irregular Hunter X: 12k
I think IHX will catch up to ZX in no time flat.

I don't think so... I'd say ZX's numbers are good. It didn't go quite as high as Zero 3, but it was considerably higher than the first week sales for Zero 4. I'd consider that an impressive turnaround given that the series' sales have been in a downward spirla since the first game.
NDS New SMB - 134568
Amazing. It just keeps steamrolling over everything. Is this game going to say #1 until FF3?
PS2 Xenosaga III - 123847
Good launch. Higher than I expected -- not really such a big drop from Episode II's launch sales. I still hold to my prediction that the game's going to absolutely plummet next week, though.
PSP Brave Story - 8238
NDS Magical Vacation - 3161
Mega-ouch for Brave Story, and continued disappointment over Magical Vacation 2's performance.

If true, Tekken did about what I thought, but poor poor Brave Story.....

if true NSMB and DSL are still owning hard

in about 6 weeks time the DS could have three 3 million sellers already - NSMB, ACWW, BT2 o_0
But perhaps those games will slow slightly once FFIII hits...and Pokemon. Jeez, DS is going to have the best hardware and software year Japan has ever seen.

This game is almost 4 months in the chart (out on 23rd March) and is going to sell over 100k, but anyone noticed...
it's a 3rd party game and is selling more than the 1st party game for PSP, Kazuo

Rockman ZX is a non-game. It's a game selling well on the DS, therefore making it a non-game, and it doesn't count as being a third party success.

Well, X3 and RZX seems to be consistent with 1st day sales but wtf...<50k for Tekken when 50k was 1st day? Taking both as true, it means Tekken is totally sold out or what?neo2046 said:
Brave Story numbers are really poor...but its the movie already out?
To really understand what the DS is doing right now, I used the awesome www.vgcharts.com and found the answer to my own question.moku said:
I checked through the week to week sales of the big guns to see what the record for consecutive weeks selling 100,000+units is, and the the DS has completly destroyed the prevous record
By how much?
CONSECUTIVE WEEKS SELLING 100,000+ UNITS OF HARDWARE
PS2-8-weeks week92-week99
GBA-7-weeks week88-week94 week1-week7 (Did it twice)
PSP-4-weeks week54-week57
DS-18weeks week66-week83
Now the DS number does NOT include this weeks early numbers so that would make it 19 straight weeks. If you go back before the shortages, it would be 32straight weeks!
Remember now, it is now at 19 consecutive weeks including this one so it could continue for the forseebale future.
I didnt see GB, SNES, or NES numbers but in direct comparison to the other big boys its crazy
19 straight weeks with over 100,000+ sales and its lowest week bieng 108,500 highest bieng 299,000 in the stretch.
CRAZY.
