Week 6!

DS 06 -- 10,291
3DS 13 -- 135,407

No surprise here, and yet -- damn. 3DS outsells the DS by greater than 13-to-1. We knew this was coming, but it's still crazy. 3DS is boosted to 135k by the release of Dragon Quest VII 3D, which achieved 836k first-week sales. DS falls to 10k, most likely due to the recent reveal of the DS Lite, despite the game QuickSpot releasing to modest first-week sales of 19k.

Week 7 preview: The DS recovers significantly from the knee-jerk reaction to the Lite announcement, rising to 51,512 hardware sales. To my knowledge, no major 3DS games were released the week ending Feb 16. It will most likely decline in sales from week 6, but should stay above 100k and sustain a 2:1 ratio over the DS.

The tally thus far:

DS 06 -- 356,643
3DS 13 -- 775,877
Adv 3DS +419,234
