Absolutely great sales! Good to see Mario still in good shape near the top of the charts too, as well as Square's FF3, Animal Crossing still!

Woowser!

That's amazing! Though I do wonder why they treat the pokemon as different games, aren't they principally the same?

I heard that the ds sold half a million. But yeah no suprise here with this chart lets see if the pokemons will be like other ds games and hang around for a very long time. I think they will.

Some serious shortages, SE seriously under-estimated it's potential and the DS's.

Jesus every Nintendo game there and the SE games on the DS have sold an absolute bucket load.

I think Brain Training (1) has sold over 3m copies, last weeks sales were at 2,997,??? so i granted it sold over 3k it is another 3m seller. Tetris is also fastly approaching the 1m mark as well DOMINANCE personified.

Glad to see Rune Factory still hanging in there dispite all the competition around.

I can't believe people fell for those clearly fake numbers! Smilie If it was seriously rumoured at nearly 300,000, then why the sudden burst?

Anyway, great to see the DS dominating once again! Still ridiculously hard to find a system in Japan at the moment...

Anihawk is probably the internet-dude(seeing this name turned up in a lot of profiles when googling) which gave the fake numbers and acted as if they were real...Smilie

Just because the name of a game is entirely Japanese doesn't make it a 'great title'...
