Good to see the new Drum Master doing well. Smilie

7.)We're Fossil Diggers (NDS, Nintendo) 22,319 | 58,000

Wah?

Is there no hope for PS3?

The Ds has sold more than the PS2 - I think that perhaps 22mil is enough Nintendo. DS2?

Not till sales start slowing.
And they show no sign of that.

Plus, the DS has a lot more potential left unexplored.
(online stuff especialy).

Mario Party DS is still there!? Good lord

Bowser. You Booz, you lose.

When Dragon Quest 9 hits...hoo boy, those DS sales will shoot right back up.Smilie

Nintendo's projection is to sell another 25 million Nintendo DS systems around the world during this financial year...and remember that DS hasn't even had a price-drop in Japan yet! Smilie

Yes, that's a good point.

Is there a source for the good sells of PSP? Still Final Fantasy Crisis Core?

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

1. I don't understand how Hunter 2G is doing so well still when it is a remake of Hunter 2. How many did the first hunter 2 sell?

2. Considering that the Nintendo DS has sold over 20 million, I would assume at this point those people are now buying the PSP because they already have a DS. How many people are in Japan anyways?

3. The important thing is that the Wii is close to outselling the PS3 3:1 in total sells.

Crisis Core on PSP sold around 750,000-800,000 in Japan, making it probably the fourth biggest PSP game so far, behind the three Monster Hunter Portable titles.

Monster Hunter Dos on PS2 sold something like 650,000-700,000 I think (can't remember exactly). Monster Hunter Portable has just about crept over the million mark.
