Final Update, 28/12/07 - The final figures are now in and it is official - the PlayStation 2 has been toppled in Japan after just three years of the DS being on the market! Yes, looking at the software below you can easily see that Nintendo has had a stunning week indeed (check out the comments in the table below for more information), but the greatest achievement has to be that the Nintendo DS has overtaken the PlayStation 2's lifetime hardware sales in just over three years on the market, as opposed to the PS2's seven-plus years...Check out all the results below:

good to see ff4 do so well so fast i see a sold out soon ^^ where is no more heroes Maybe they're running out of money from buying so many DS Lites, Wii's and PSP's. And maybe that's also why the third party Wii games did so shit last week. fenixazul said: It's not a top ten just a summary of the recent first day sales from some titles posted on a blog site. NMH would not likely be within the top ten anyway due to bad sales there, and this despite great reviews. No More Heroes dropped out of the Top 50 Media Create chart this week. I'm loving FFIV's remake, even though I've played the game on the SNES, PSone and GBA...it's actually great fun to play through the familiar scenario, but see it all from a different perspective. Card Hero's probably the best card battling games I've played before as well... Great to see FFIV doing well. Card Hero sounds interesting, can't wait for the hands on report. As expected, Wii Fit is officially a long-legged hit. Great number for SMG, too. ---- http://blogs.ign.com/charwiimario Top games: 5-The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 4-Super Mario Galaxy 3-Eternal Darkness 2-Super Mario Bros 3 1-Super Mario Bros Doraemon Baseball...I thought the Doraemon franchise was handled by Sega nowadays, but seems Bandai Namco took control of this DS title. Anyway, fantastic achievement for the DS in such a short time! Sad to see Chocobo Dungeon gone from the Top 50 in just one week, but there were reports of shortages...we'll see next week (or maybe not as it's holiday season in Japan and the charts may not be released My GF loves that Doraemon dude, my room is littered with stuff Shocking Chocobo Dungeon, if your wrong this is the worst thing that could happen. It's vital that these initial Wii S-E games do well for the prospect of bigger titles with bigger budgets to come Wii's way. I hope your right and that the sales fly back up, the game looks like quality and deserves it. ps2 > ds. the ds will NEVER in its lifetime beat the high profile games that were on the ps2; that much is obvious. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha MetalKingSlime, u made me laugh, seriously... high profile? oh god... it had a million of games with like 80% of it was terrible the Ds however has so many great games and u have so much to choose from, clearly, u don't know what u're saying but its ok. but never PSdouble>DS, its more like DS>>> allPS'. DS is truly the greatest handheld system ever. ive bought three in the past and will never regret my purchase. i'll tell u what, the Ds is my second handheld, being gamboy my first. thats cause i never really appreciated the games on handheld as much as i did on home consoles. but now there's so much that the DS offers, i get everything i want on it and take it around with me. and i loved so much 2d games and now it offers N64 quality games so u know, its a great system to have. ya WOW... n64 quality graphics. talk about the late 90s. sad. what games does the ds have? MARIO KART DS?! Cooking Mama? Ohhhhh so exciting. what ev, i don't need to make my point on this nintendo fan boy site. MetalKingSlime said: Uh huh, what does N64 graphics have to do with the quality of the game. Open your eyes you fanboy. Do you even own a DS? Have you even played some of its top titles? Oo-er! Someone's cage has been rattled!! MetalKingSlime said: I lol@U. ( Edited on 31.12.2007 13:14 by Ikana ) Where is the 360?? Its terrible! And don't even get me started on the DS vs PSP.. I just had that arguement a few minutes ago on another website. But seriously, the DS has obviously beaten the PSP. And I think its truly beaten the PS2. At least it will very soon. You can't even argue that point, because no matter what you say, or what I say, the stats make the point. Whatever your oppinion may be, the rest of the world obviously prefers the DS WAY over the PSP. Despite the cost of living, its quite popular.
The rest of the world prefers the DS FullStop. Theres not even a competition worth mentioning, i remember Nintendo saying they'd be happy if 1 out of 10 people bought the DS liked it they'd be happy, it will soon be the biggest selling console ever. Thats before were treated to hereditary problems..how to stop the rot on your head, train your hair! «s previous1next »
