Yeah, I mean useless in the fact that the system is getting very few releases and the DS still plays GBA games. Small is good, and the GBA is a great system IMO, it's just that aside from the size, there is not much reason anymore to buy a GBA over a DS, especially at the price of the Micro. So Nintendo should be pretty happy with those numbers for system that truly is being phased out in terms of development.

Gotcha.
I personally really, really value small sizes in electronics, so the Micro always got my attention.

When I look at those high numbers, I can understand, they aren't getting that much higher anymore ^^. Pokémon Torouze and Peach are games, which sell to Nintendofans primarily, I think. But when the next Pokémon RPG arrives, it's gonna be interesting ^^.John Harker said:

Yep looks like it.
Let us put it this way: If money is not really an issue then the GBMicro is a great addition to go along with a DS. The screen quality makes many GBA games just feel so much better. As do the great buttons, build quality and materials. Playing games on it is just a whole different thing than playing them on an SP, let alone original GBA. I got the famicom version and been playing minish cap on it. That's just a great combination, the system's size and quality totally matches the feel of the oldschool 2D games.Dracos said:

DS is a monster.
So much for Brain Training helping PSP hardware sales.
Game Boy sales are settling back to more normal levels, but 23,000 for the Micro + SP a week ... that's more than the PS2 is selling right now, on top of what the DS is doing.
Aside from the GameCube (Revolution can't come out fast enough), Nintendo has to be very pleased going into the holiday season, aka Easter 2.

Xmas is gonna be huge!!
Things are definitely changing in Japan, and I think Rev is only gonna capitalise on that more and more. They really need something new over there, PS2 hasn't done as well as PS1 overall, GC is down on N64, and I'm really glad to see DS doing so well and almost creating some new markets and genres all of it's own.
I think something must be said for the fact that the more traditional games like Yoshi, Kirby and Peach have been disappointing though, and even Jump Super Stars really. Maybe the success of the likes of Nintendogs and Brain Training could also be working against Nintendo.
Will be interesting to see how Mario Kart gets on.

Not in dollars spent, but in hardware units sold, this is the week where Nintendo surpassed Sony for the listed systems, year to date.
GBA + GBASP + GBM + DS + GCN = 3,007,910
PS2 + PSP = 3,003,538
Xbox = 10,591
Well, to be accurate, Nintendo was also ahead the first week of the year... heck, graph time.

I haven't paid attention to the exact X360 Japanese release date, but guessing at early December-ish, that would be about the time in the past that the major systems start getting weeks in the 6 digits. Considering how Xbox has done, it seems unlikely. If so, somebodies love their Ridge Racer.littlewig said:
