No Pro Here and I got it very wrong on the software side anyway. If you look up the Weekly Chart Index you can dig around in there to find this stuff. At around June 2006 there were about 4.5m DS sold in the US. At the end of Dec 2006 There were almost 9m DS sold. June 2006 almost 14m software for DS sold, end of Dec 2006 almost 32m softare sold. I must of had a brain fart when I transposed the HW vs SW. I'll go back to the original point before my sidetrack. Nintendogs and Mario pushed the sales initually, but by this time there was already so much software for DS out that you could have removed nintendogs and mario from the racks and you'd likely only dent the total SW sold by 15%. |
Nice, thanks for clarifying.
About the 15% SW sold, I think one important part of the equation to remember is that alot of the sales of smaller titles feed off the stability of the pillars, such as Mario 2D, Nintendogs, MK and Brain Age. To remove these would ultimately hurt the sales of the smallers ones by alot, as alot of the purchases of smaller titles are what I like to call convenience purchases. I have the platform, so might as well buy this or that game that's on it ;)
You know what I mean :)
