I'm not trying to argue Nintendos *if* there were more examples of good quality DS games selling insane numbers. If you look at something like the Playstation, or almost any console - They usually aren't very top-loaded when it comes to big sellers.
The Playstation 1 had plenty of SEC-published titles in the Top-10. Difference was/is that it was peppered with similarly-selling 3rd party titles. So have most systems...Even the N64 had great 3rd party successes in Goldeneye 007 which *was* N-published, but was certainly a Rare title.
Again, I'm not trying to say "OMG, only Nintendo games sell on the DS" but it's more again to 'only Nintendo games sell incredibly well" - That's not to take away the decent bit of 3rd party successes and million sellers.
*Hopefully* DQIX can break this trend of poor-selling 3rd party games and catapult a good title up on the DS list for fastest-selling and biggest games on the system.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
