I agree, I wasn't precise enough, but with "properly supported", I actually meant "properly supported by Ninty itself": 1st party is more important for Nintendo consoles than for competitors, if Ninty fans want Mario, Zelda and Metroid games, 3rd parties can't fill that gap, they can nicely complete the games library, but they can't replace its main ingredients. While milking too much the best franchises and series would be bad, making too little of those eagerly desired games doesn't make sense, Ninty's top sellers reward dev costs and efforts with stratospheric sales and princely profits.

Edit: I was missing an important milestone, gratz to DS for passing 150M sales!

Really good sales for the 3DS this week. Not expecting it to do north of 900k for the 2nd week running. Next week should be massive too with Mario Kart in the US, and Monster Hunter in Japan.

I am so amazed 360 continues to outsell PS3 despite having no price cuts in 3 years, where as PS3 has had 2.

Based off conservative Estimates, MW3 should be around 20.5 million copies sold by X-Mas on the Xbox and PS3 only...

what do you mean continues? it has been the last 3 weeks, but the rest of the year?

LittleBigPlanet 2 crossed 2 million too.

Halo CEA is as expected. I'm a big Halo fan but I've played that already and have no interest in buying it again.

Where is gears !?!

Further demonstration that just Top40 is enough for smaller markets, but too little for the biggest markets and for global sales.

Good numbers. Nothing too surprising.
