10. / 05. [NDS] Golden Sun: Dark Dawn (Nintendo) - 12,571 / 59,087 (-73%)

Ouch! this game is a truly bomb, I didn't see that coming ... Though there's still some hope left for this title since this franchise sell the most on the US market. If Nintendo doesn't send it to die it can have decent sales this Christmas.

US market sales:

Golden Sun --- 743,000 units.

Golden Sun: The Lost Age --- 437,000 units.

GS did awful, but Solatorobo did even worse!  I mean, Tail Concerto wasn't a big seller but it at least crawled to 90k eventually. :/

Radiant Historia kinda tanked too... now I'm worried for Ninokuni...

I read on GAF that this is because the DS core rpg fanbase has moved on from the platform. In my opinion this is completely wrong since Dragon Quest VI, Shiren 4, Fire Emblem 3 DS, Etrian Odyssey III or Inazuma Eleven 3 had great sales. And let's not forget about the huge opening Pokémon Black / White had which shows the core rpg fanbase is still there. 

@Zlejedi  I hope I'm wrong Wii deserves a break :)
