Weekly Sales in Japan means 2~3 days worth of sales doesn't it? As in games in Japan come out in Tuesdays...and the numbers are released on Thursday/Friday... >.> ... right?
Shadow Hearts 3...52,000-nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
What the hell happened to that Sengoku Basara game? It busted out with 90,000 initial days of sale...apparently it dropped to fuckin nowhere afterso.

Damnit Nintendo needs to carry this momentum over to the U.S. More advertising Nintendo. Your gonna have some great games coming out this fall with big name franchises now advertise them.

I guess the matter is still for Nintendo to release the right games.
Currectly, I think those 40K+ people that are buying the DS each week are getting either Brain Training DS, Atama Juku (soft brain training), or Nintendogs. The DS has proven that the console/handheld will just fly off shelves with the right games (some might call these non-games).

Somebody should correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the DS sold about 60k units the week Kirby and new colors came out, and then about 85k units the week that Nintendogs and more new colors came out. I think 60k is a rather conservative estimate for Jump Super Stars week, especially since the game and new color should be out for the entire reported period, rather than just three days.

Jump! Super Stars I think should be much bigger than it's going to be. It's every anime/manga fan's dream come true almost and combine that with Super Smash Bros.-esque gameplay and add some strategic elements and nice unlockables and the game should have instant million-seller written all over it.
This game should make DS sales shoot up at least 20,000, but it's coming at a time where there's already a lot of releases. Looking at numbers from way earlier this year, games like Yoshi Touch and Go sold like 70,000 in one week, which was pretty high for a game like that, I think.
The competition is rough now. That Super Robot Wars Alpha 3 nearly reached 500,000 in its opening week. Sales for it will lag for the next couple of weeks, but I still think it could sell 150,000 easily in its third week on the market (Jump!'s debut week).
And then there's a couple PSP games (nothing to get excited over, though), Powerful Pro Baseball DS, and I believe Grandia III and a couple other bigger PS2 games are releasing.

Thanks for the numbers Fuzzy.
Just WOW at the DS. This week's sales are its biggest numbers since May 8/05, and it has now topped 30,000 for 10 straight weeks, and been above 40,000 for 3 of the past 4 weeks. It seems to have settled into a very consistent rhythm of very nice hardware numbers.
Also, the DS now leads the PS2 by 16,991 units for 2005. More importantly, the momentum is all with the DS, as it has now beat the PS2 11 weeks in a row, and 14 of the past 15 weeks. It is starting to look pretty likely that the DS will be the top-selling gaming system (handheld or console) in Japan for 2005. To me, that is just an amazing performance for a system which many proclaimed would be ravaged by the arrival of the PSP.

i'm sure it helped. pokemon movie [8] 'Mew and the Wave Guiding Hero - Rukario!', has been at number 2 in the japan movie rankings for the last three weeks [behind rots].CVXFREAK said:I contributed to the DS sales!
The Pokemon Center in Tokyo sold like 5 while I was there. I think the Pokemon movie might've helped.

Ah, very interesting. There were a good amount of people in the theatre that I saw Hadou no Yuusha Rukario in. Mostly kids and bored parents, but still.
From what my anecdotal evidence can gather, people were interested in the PokePark and Mew units (boys and girls respectively)

I feel bad for Namco. So much, in fact, that I will buy Pac N Roll before Nintendogs and Advance Wars: Dual Strike in a couple of weeks when they come out here.
