Well just imagine when NSMB hits!!

And Starfox, Yoshi's Island 2, Kirby, Magical Vacation, Diddy Kong Racing...

I really can't. In 2005 the DS sold 4.15 million units in Japan according to MC, they already did half of that so far this year. It'll most likely break 6 million units sold in Japan this year which would put the LTD at about 12 million. That's just crazy after only 25 months.

10 Million by the fall!

The last 6 weeks of 2005 it sold just over 2 million units and will probably sell more this year if Pokemon is out.

Nintendo's manufaction plants must be running 24/7. Not only have they exceeded their shipment expectations, they are also saving up for the European and American launch.

Geez, how many units can they actually make?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

GBASP after 9 weeks: 0.72 million
DSL after 9 weeks: 1.22 million
Time for GBASP to reach 1.22 million: 20 weeks

"GBA after SP" after 9 weeks: 202K
"DS after DSL" after 9 weeks: 367K
Time for "GBA after SP" to reach 367K: 25 weeks

wow thats crazy it seems like all the other numbers combined wont even make up for the DSL numbrs

Totally. DS Lite has only been available for half of the year, but it's more than 1/3 of all hardware sales YTD.

maybe Rev in Japan will sell like WiiDS...

mooohahahahahahahaha buuuhahahahaha I'm so funny it hurts!

If they can get it to do a fourth or third of DS, it will turn out better than GameCube.

 

[cvxfreak]

As a corollary:

DS after 9 weeks: 1,702,292
PSP after 9 weeks: 749,854

So the Lite is 500,000 behind the original model, but will probably "catch up" in a month or so.

The DS...is...a...MONSTER. WTF people?! think about it, how come it sells 100k+ each week? it's mind blowing.

 

[Galactic Fork]

Wow DSL
I guess the previous week's low DS sales was cause of a shortage.
Yay tetris.

Ok, back to E3 stuff.

I think the shortages are almost over in the "there simply isn't enough" sense. It seems that the DS and Lite have moved into the "it just sells hell of a lot" category.

Lol I'll call it the Pokemon system. It sells like banana. It's gonna be interesting seeing the Wii's numbers considering their taking the same route with it.

Being fair, it's not as if the actual install base would be near 12 million with all the DS rebuys after the Lite.

 

[Earthstrike]

People keep talking about when the DS will level off to normal sales.
200 000 will be the normal sales with lows of 150 000 and highs of 250 000.

 

[Earthstrike]

Also Nintendo better get their asses on building/purchasing more production factories.

And the actual Japanese install base for the PS2 and GBA isn't really 20 and 15 million respectively.

I think normal will hover around 90,000 per week. Some weeks may be as low as 60,000 while others may be as high as 150,000. This trend will begin in a couple of weeks, I think and will probably last up to the Holiday shopping season.
